Panasonic GH4 30" Exposure timelapse wont take more than 31 Pictures

Hello everyone.

I've recently began trying to take star trail photos of the night's sky in Kauai. I don't have an intervalometer so i need to use the time lapse feature on the camera to take pictures automatically. At first i set the time between photos to 30 seconds, but then I found out the time lapse feature would take the photo, then wait 30 seconds after the photo finished, before taking another photo. So then i tried setting the time between photos to 1 second (lowest time I can set), but now for some reason my time lapse will only take 31 photos. I've tried to set the total number of photos it will take to very high numbers (1000+), and it still always stops at 31 pictures.

I have no idea why this is happening, so if someone has a solution other than getting an intervalometer, please let me know! I am in Kauai and there is not really any way for me to order an intervalometer to my location.

Cheers,
Lukas
