EOS 700D: intervalls of less than 3 secs not possible - HeinrichHeld - 2014-07-10
Hi there,
I'm shooting my timelapses with a Canon EOS 700D and an external controller.
Recently I experienced that the EOS is having trouble to capture pictures with an intervall of 2 secs (or less). 3 secs and more works just fine, but with the 2 secs intervall the cam seems to be too "slow". It looks like the cam is still processing the previously shot picture after 2 secs when it should already take the next one. So the shooting of the next one is delayed and therefore also of the one after that - and so on...
Is anyone experiencing the same problem?
One solution that came to my mind just now is to shoot in JPG instead of RAW?
Looking forward to your experiences!
Best
Heinrich

That's normal. Just use longer intervals.

2s may work or not depending on the card used. With JPG even 1s intervals are possible but it's jgp you know ;-)
