Filename duration, extra zeroes


UNMANNED

Question

I'm having a problem with duration in my filenames - there are three '0' added; for instance when I take a 30sec exposure, in the filename it writes it as 30000sec. Any way to fix this?

Camera: Nikon D5500
Software version: 2.1.1
Win10 Pro

Finally got to this.  You have Windows set to English, but somehow you have your decimal represented by a comma instead of a period.... and when BYE cast bulb duration into a number it assumes that you choose 90,000 seconds instead of 90.000 seconds.

BYE and BYN are build from the same code base and if a problem like yours occurs with one product it usually happens with the other. However, I could not duplicate your issue with BYE 3.2.2 and my Canon T5i.

In the Filename Template Editor, my Name item 3 is specified as "<duration>s_". It appears in the file names as :

LIGHT_30s_1600iso_+22c_20210514-09h45m55s335ms.CR2 for a BULB exposure

and as

LIGHT_Tv30s_1600iso_+22c_20210514-09h47m32s295ms.CR21600iso_+22c_20210514-09h47m32s295ms.CR2 for a Tv exposure.

I would suggest upgrading to the latest release of BYN. Also please let us know if this fixes your issue. If it doesn't, it could be important to know if the exposure is a BULB exposure or a Tv (Timed value) exposure. Also it would be worth reviewing your filename template for how the <duration> item and surrounding text is specified.

Hey, thank you for your reply

I updated to ver. 2.1.2 which is the latest version and the problem still exists.
I'm using bulb exposure, and I screenshoted the settings (in the attachment), could any of the settings be causing it?

Also last two screenshots are capture settings and the resulting filename
