Hi
I was looking to try out the above feature, and I am not sure it is working as I expect or I have configured it wrong.
I have set up my D7000 to fire every 4 seconds using the MX2.
Camera in manual mode at f3.5 1/200
I am shooting in RAW+basic so the app has a JPG to analyse.
I have selected the LRTimelapse icon and ticked "Display JPG for next Capture", taken a test shot which appears in the app.
I have select the EV +/- icon at the foot of the screen and set the "Slowest shutter speed" @ 2.0" and Enable (tick) the exposure correction.
All looks good until I tick the "Auto Holy Grail" check box, where I get a "Slowest shutter speed warning"
Slowest shutter speed is the same as current shutter speed.
OR Slowest shutter speed is greater than current shutter speed.
Do you want to continue?
If I say OK, sometimes the tick disappears from the "Auto Holy Grail" option and nothing happens.
Or it starts anyway and changes both the exposure setting and the ISO when the light drops (or I put a post-it note in front of the lens to block out some light.
I was expecting the exposure to drop until 2 seconds, then the ISO to increase.
Any idea why the slowest shutter speed is not recognised?
Or have I misunderstood the AUTO option.
UPDATE - possibly I have got somewhere now...
Having re-read the Wiki page I set it as before, but ignored the Auto Holy Grail and the exposure dropped until it hit the slowest value and the ISO began to increase.
Now what does the "Auto Holy Grail" option do and when should I use it?
Any help appreciated.
Kev.
