Sometimes you have to take some risks ;-)
I did some more tests tonight with the 7D and the 5D Mark II and I'm pretty sure now, that the Canon Intervalometer TC-80N3 is sending a "Half-Press-Shutter" signal to the camera 4 seconds before it actually fires the shutter and therefore it is not possible to work with the LRTimelapse function inside of DslrDashboard when using shorter intervals than 5 or 6 seconds because you don't have the time to adjust the shutterspeed or ISO values.
I also tested the
Vello Shutterboss Intervalometer and the behaviour is nearly the same. It blocks any communication with DslrDashboard 3 seconds before it fires the shutter.
However, if you want to avoid that, you have three possibilities:
1.) Cut the "Half-Press-Shutter" Cable like I explained in
Post #10
2.) Use the timelapse intervalometer inside DslrDashboard
3.) Use another Intervalometer like the
Pixel (as mentioned by Gunther in
Post #6)
