"Smaller adjustments have been skipped"

Hi Gunther. I'm working through a day-to-night holy grail and am getting this error when trying to work through the deflicker workflow:

I'm curious as to why the software thinks these jumps in EV are caused by automatic adjustments in the camera. The sequence was shot in "M" mode and using the "lens twist" method (wide open at f/5.0). Interval was at 30s with a max shutter speed of 6s. Other info:

Canon Rebel t5i + EFS 18-55mm lens + external intervalometer
qDDB v0.2.6 + Kindle Fire rooted with N2Aos (Android KitKat) + TP-LINK MR3040

Here's the LRT screenshot:

I'm also wondering if the 30s interval is too long for a holy grail. qDDB was set to adjust the shutter speed every 2 frames. As the sun was setting, qDDB changed the shutter speed every chance it had (every two frames) until it reached a stable average brightness (at 6s shutter). Any advice here? Would lengthening the adjustment frequency to say 5 frames help me in post?

30 secs is too long, yes. With so many adjustments it's hard to get a smooth transition afterwards and the sequence will run too fast. I'd rather set the interval shorter (max 10 secs) then changing the frequency of adjustments.
Ich you get the message "adjustments skipped", just set the "threshold value" und Settings/Expert settings to 0.0 and try again (from the keyframes wizard on).

Gunther, thank you. I went out and shot another HG at 10s interval and it processed well. Thank you for your attention to the forums!
