Regarding the need for the cable hack on an intervalometer, how should I test it to see if I need to do the cable re-wiring?

Camera: Sony A6300, set on manual focus.
Intervalometer: Vello Shutterboss version II (http://www.vellogear.com/shutterboss-ver...i-terminal)

I just bought this intervalometer and tried to determine if I needed to hack the cable (per http://lrtimelapse.com/news/intervalometer-hack/). I hooked it up to my camera, set the interval to 1 second and had it automatically shoot 10 RAW image captures.

I had no problems. All 10 images were captured. I could not perceive any "autofocus" pausing.

Is there some other method I should try? For example, should I try 30 image captures (in case the buffer issue needs more "pressure")? 50? The A6300 does not have a LCD buffer indicator as the camera used in Gunther's link.

Or, could I assume that if 10 shots at 1 second intervals did not cause a problem, then I don't need to re-wire the cable?

Regards,

I've explained how to check it in the video embedded in this article: http://lrtimelapse.com/news/intervalometer-hack/
If everything works for you, there might be no need for the hack.

Ah. I had read the hacking article but didn't watch the video.

I didn't think to check to LCD screen to ensure that the preview was being displayed. Mainly because I had preview turned off (which is my usual setting).
