Weird problem here..  I'm using a super cheap $15 external intervalometer on a Canon 6d.   I'm trying my first super-long term time lapse with 10 minute intervals between shots and it seems to be taking two shots every time.  I'm thinking this is because the camera turns off between shots since it's so long, and it somehow fires twice when powering back on.  

Anyone seen this?  Any way to fix other than using a better intervalometer?

Thanks

Maybe you have set the camera to continuous shooting and the intervalometer triggers for too long? Try setting the camera to single shot.

Could it be that the camera is set to take, .raw and .jpg from one shot?

yeah (raw+jpg) but it creates 4 files each time...   really strange

Hi Josh, have you try resetting your camera to default settings? I don't think it is the intervalometer as the intervalometer it is just a pair of wires attached to a time device, telling the camera at what interval to trigger the shutter.

Again, most likely the camera is set to continuous shooting. Set it to single shot.
