Originally posted by cdurfor Great question. K01 is my standard time lapse camera, because (correct me if I'm wrong) but unlike may DSLRs the K01 has an electronic shutter. Thus, shooting 1,000 to 5k images for a run will not cause early breakage of a mechanical shutter. Also you can purchase a battery eliminator so that you don't have to keep changing batteries. The one problem is that you are limited to 1,000 shots before you must reset the camera.
Yes that's my understanding too. The K01 has no mechanical shutter so should be more ideal for timelapse. I will have to look into a suitable battery replacement source but that is easier to deal with compared to seeing how i can shoot the camera at the right time.

There is no port for me to connect the K01 to unfortunately...wondering if i should use my K-7 instead
Originally posted by jatrax Can I ask what the reason is for time lapse and 3-d printers? Do you use the time lapse for printing something or?
No I wanted to combine all the time lapse photo for something like this:
Originally posted by disasterfilm It sounds like he wants to shoot timelapses of printing processes to have creation videos. It's helpful info because it lets us know it'll be 100% interior usage and gives us some feel of focal lengths, focal distance, mounting systems, and general usage.
Yes. I will be using manual mode, probably manual focus (not sure), maybe a 50mm lens on a tripod.
