Capture Plan Duration Setting

[rv97007]

Hello!

I am using BYE on a Canon T2i.

I am trying to write a plan to use BYE for the eclipse. I composed and saved a plan, but notice that it does not save the "Duration" field.

The "Duration" field would be of great help in pausing between the rows, waiting between each phase of the eclipse.

I edited the file to manually enter "Duration=123", terminating with a "|", nested between Av and ISO fields. Upon loading this edited file, I notice that the durations are read and updated correctly in the UI, but are greyed out. Upon testing the plan, the duration is not used at all.

Experts, please let me know how to use the "Duration" setting correctly. Thank you!

When the Shutter is set to BULB, Duration is the length of the camera-timed exposure. The value has units of minutes.

There is an unlabeled column to the right of the Pause column. When you click on one of these cells a vertical bar inside of a circle appears. This causes that row to pause before execution. You then must click on a Resume link below the rows to start that row.

Duration is for bulb only. Minimum is 1 seconds. Tv is more precise for sub second exposure.

Thank you. Should have read the manual beyond the first few pages.
