Ralfi Posted January 3, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 3, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I would love to do sequences with my Leica M, for example a picture every 10 seconds on a tripod that i can later stitch together with Quicktime or Final Cut to a stop motion movie. Is there a way other than me pressing the button every 10 seconds? My idea is to collect hundreds of pictures over hours, for a dramatic sunset for example. Hope you can help, thanks!

chris_tribble Posted January 3, 2014 Share #2 Posted January 3, 2014 The only way I can imagine you doing this is via the multifunction handgrip... not sure what you'd do though beyond having a laptop in the field with you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted January 3, 2014 Share #3 Posted January 3, 2014 You can use the Apple Mac Image Capture software (installed as standard on all modern Macs), together with the MF grip to do time lapse photography. It works best with JPEG’s but you can also use compressed DNG’s. Surprisingly and disappointingly Leica’s own Image Shuttle does not support this - not impressed!

Ralfi Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted January 3, 2014 thanks for your comments, what exactly does the mf grip do for that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jip Posted January 3, 2014 Share #5 Posted January 3, 2014 It makes it possible to connect the camera to a computer through USB.... Since the Leica M (Typ 240) has no USB connection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at posts 21 through 29 in this thread: http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-forum/leica-m-type-240/273141-does-image-shuttle-have-time-lapse-2.html If you want to try this technique, you might consider starting with something less complex, from the perspective of change in exposure over time, than a sunset.

mboerma Posted January 4, 2014 Share #7 Posted January 4, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) Image Capture is not flawless either. It started a discussion on the Boinx.com website. Boinx makes iStopmotion, timelapse software for Mac. They use Image capture as their underlying framework to do the capturing. Maybe others are also interested in testing this iStopmotion package and let us know what their experiences are. BTW, I used a 2009 MacPro with USB 2.0 ports.

mirekti Posted January 4, 2014 Share #8 Posted January 4, 2014 The funniest thing is, the camera itself has an USB port, but really crippled. Why it is not possible to transfer files, and use it for other purposes than EVF? Edited: ...I just realized this is not an USB port. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean the video/microphone port, it is not USB even though its socket may be the same as some varieties of USB. Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
