How long of an exposure can you take? I see that it is set up to do time lapse, but can you control the exposure length past what the camera can do?

You are limited by what your camera can do. You don't set the shutter opening, only when it triggers (time between shots) and how msny shots. Limited to 399 shots or it has an infinite setting in which case it will keep taking shots until you stop it or you run out of capacity or bayyery.

Actually David if your shooting with a SLR you should have a bulb setting on your camera. In this mode you control the length of your exposure. The remote has a lock feature that will allow you to take long exposures.

I recently purchased and have only used the camera for about 1 hour. Sorry that I couldn't be more. helpful.

This is a great camera but there are so many features I don't know them all yet. I'm almost certain I remember reading that it has a self-timer, but I haven't used that so I don't know if it applies to more than one pic.

You start and stop recording by pushing the record button. There is no 'pause' option that I'm aware of. The camera reacts quickly, so I'm not sure a pause option, at this level would prove to be of much use.

I don't know what that means, recovery time, my best guess what you want to know is how long do you have to wait until you can take another picture and not sure on the exact amount of time, but it's longer than I like (I have a 3 year old) but not as long as my old camera. I'm sure there is a way to set it on fast or multiple picture taking, just haven't figured that out yet. My best guess is at least 30 seconds. Hope that answers your question.

No, it will still do time lapse. First, make sure your SD card is in. Second, only certain shooting modes will allow you to do time lapse. Try Intelligent shooting mode if nothing else works.

If you want to go for more than 99 shots, set the exposure counter to ZERO, then it'll shoot for all eternity or until your memory card is full, whichever comes first. By setting it to zero, I shot 520 frames doing a cloud time lapse before the card said full and stopped working. If you're going beyond the max 99, you can get your feedback of how many shot by your camera's display showing how many more shots you have to go before you card is full. Then a quick change of memory card and let 'er rip some more.

you can format for 24 hrs. But the time lapse will be from 1 to 60 minutes per hr. It looks like that is the only way it is in sleep mode unless something triggers it during that time. I leave mine on 24/7 and check it every third day with good pics if anything trips it.

You could set the time lapse function to take pics only during darkness hours if you wish. It will not take motion activated pics when it is in time lapse mode. It will use up batteries quite fast in the time lapse mode if you have it take pics frequently, like every 30 seconds or a minute. A set of AA batteries will be used up in about 4 days if the cam is set to take a pic every 30 seconds from daylight to dark, in my experience.

Only if you want to do it that way. When I use it you can just leave the shutter speed at 0 and it follows whatever the camera shutter speed is set at. It's a really versatile bit of equipment, I've never run into a major design flaw like that so far.

I do not yet know as I am still just getting acquainted with it. Please tell me a bit more what "Time lapse" does and I will look it up as best I can.

Assuming you mean to set a timer to delay taking the picture, the answer is no. AT least I have not founfd a way to do this.

The built in intervelometer has its uses but does not replace this. If you want an exposure for over 30 seconds in duration or you want to easily look at the duration or number of photos remaining without touching your camera this will be useful to you. I like the others below used the built in intervelometer, but if you want to control over the exposure -- especially if you want very long night time exposures this is for you.

Not sure what you mean, there are settings to control the shutter speed on this camera

I set the timer for either 2 or 10 seconds. I click the shutter button, then hope and pray it's positioned right. I used this primarily for selfies (pictures of my wife and I on vacation - beats always trying to ask someone and hope they don't run off with your camera and all your pictures). Enjoy it! It's wonderful.

Yes, simply hold down the button on the controller for about 1-2 seconds and let go, but with mine I've notice that it doesn't stay locked for long especially with long exposer time lapse photos, for example: 30 second exposer over a period of an hour, it only took about 3-4 photos every time, I eventually had to babysit the shutter release and my camera to make sure it was actually taking the photos... It could be just mine that's defective... Still works great though!

No you can not do long exposure. I think the longest is 8 Sec. I wish it had longer exposure too but I Love the zoom.
