For cruise ship arrivals and departures I take real-time videos. The clip length is 29 minutes, but with cruise ships that is not an impediment.
Thank you, Henry. I appreciate that suggestion. I'm putting that into the bag of creative notions I've been collecting. I'll have more time for stuff like this soon, and stills just ain't cutting it any more. Not exclusively, anyway.
I think the first oly M43 with an internal intervalometer was the E-P5, but IIRC, it was only up to 100 images. (That might have been increased with firmware updates, though). Not absolutely positive, but it was in that time frame (E-PL5, E-P5, E-M1). I was looking for cameras at the time, and went it the GX7 partially because of its internal timelapse features over the Olys at the time.
Another example of a creative mind seeking creative solutions to further their creative craft.Apart from getting a remote trigger with intervalometer which would give you full control, there is also a little hack that can work in many cases. I used it on E-PL1 which did not support any kind of remote shutter release so there was simply no way to use an intervalometer.
Basically, you set the camera to continuous shooting drive mode with Anti Shock enabled and you control the interval between shots with the duration of the Anti Shock delay. Then you just need to figure out a way to keep the shutter button pressed. I used a piece of Lego brick and a rubber band to achieve that
It is limited because there are only a limited choice of Anti Shock delay values. But it works.
