K-70 problem with interval shooting

**ranmar850** · 03-09-2017, 01:37 AM

I've tried a few long strings of intervals, and are coming up against a strange problem. First time, all seemed to go as set, exposure and focus on manual, interval set for 10 sec. Daylight shooting with good exposure. The images seem to be layered, ie, moving clouds I was shooting just ran out into a long blur, like a very long exposure, but with correct exposure. I did notice the first two images were definitely layered, as I moved the tripod between shots 1 and 2. I tried again, this time with manual focus and Auto exposure, no issues. Then tried again today, manual focus and exposure, and the original problem re-occurred.

Did you accidentally enable interval composite mode instead of regular interval shooting?

Thinking about it, that is quite possible. Unfortunately, I can't check on that ATM, as the battery is depleted ( I wish they had the option of replaceables) and the charger is a long way off. But I'll check that, thanks.

Oh, and Adam, the "Proud owner of..." logos are on the site somewhere, I got my K-x logo from it, but can't find them now?
