ich hatte im alten Jahr das Glück und die Ehre, mein Hobby bei uns in der Firma vorzustellen. Es war ein Bericht über Hobbys der Mitarbeiter der SBB (Schweizerische Bundesbahn). War ein interesanntes Erlebnis und hat auch Spass gemacht, Zeitrafferaufnahmen den Mitarbeitern näherzubringen, sind immerhin über 30`000 Angestellte. Sogar die Prokukte von BFM sind auf den Bildern zu sehen. ???? 

Viel Spass beim lesen.

Ich habe folgendes Problem festgestellt (obwohl ich nur rein manuelle Objektive für Zeitraffer verwende): Wenn ich während Zeitraffer-Aufnahmen an der Kamera in die Fotowiedergabe gehe (das mache ich oft um mir das Foto letzte Foto und das zugehörige Histogramm genau anzusehen), braucht die Kamera das Autofokus-Signal um von der Fotowiedergabe zurück zur Aufnahmebereitschaft zu wechseln und zur rechten Zeit auszulösen. Das funktioniert wunderbar im Intervalometer-Modus des Pine (und auch im LRT Pro Timer 3) mit rund 0,8 s Fokuszeit, getestet mit Sony A7S und Lumix G81.

Im Zeitraffer-Modus gibt es aber diese Fokuszeit nicht. Wenn ich das Auslösesignal auf ca. 1s hochstelle, löst die Kamera zwar aus, auch wenn sie gerade im Wiedergabemodus war, aber der Intervall verlängert sich um die Zeit die die Kamera braucht um zur Aufnahmebereitschaft zu wechseln, das ist ca. 1s.

Gibt es einen besonderen Grund warum es im Zeitraffer-Modus die Fokuszeit nicht gibt? Könnt ihr die Fokuszeit da noch hinzufügen?

I am not sure when it did start but since some time it seems that everything looks quite small in the Android app, or my eyes went broken somehow. Even on a 10 zoll tablet icons and font are very small, even though there is plenty of space, and everytging looks a little lost. On my Galaxy S10 the fonts are almost unreadable now. It is not possible to apply font or screen scaling on Android level and I cannot find any scaling options in the app itselfs.

Is there a way to scale the app that the screen space is fully used and the text gets readably again? Current app version is 4.5.1.

Thx Gunnar

I just tried to set up a simple single row panorama (8 images, each step 45 degrees) using the BFM NT head (standard motor settings). Pine R, firmware 3.1, Android App v. 3.1.3. Camera: Nikon D600, shutter controlled by release cable from Pine R (camera symbol).

I tried to do this in time lapse mode setting 8 keyframes (adding an increment of 45 degrees for subsequent keyframes). Weird things are going on: When I start recording, the first image is taken, then the NT head proceeds. But before it stops, the second image is taken. Then it moves ahead slower, while, during movement, the third image is taken. Then it moves slightly backwards (!), and I have to kill the sequence. But this behaviour seems not to be exactly reproducible.

I also tried in Gigapixel mode (9 columns, 1 row), setting the first frame to 0 degrees, and the last frame to +360 degrees (9 images), Interval total 2.9 sec. (Auslöser 1,6 sec., pause 0.8 sec, Stillstand 0.5 sec.). When I try to start, the system takes images without turning the head.

Then I tried the following in Gigapixel mode:
Set rows to 1, columns to 9. Set top left to 0 degrees. Interval total 2.9 sec. (Auslöser 1,6 sec., pause 0.8 sec, Stillstand 0.5 sec.). Set lower right to same position. Long click on lower right position, set PAN to 360 degrees, refresh: app crashes again. Setting to 350 degrees does not work either. Reopening the Gigapixel mode is not possible ("Dieser Modus erfordert den Anschluss von Motoren", loosely translated: "this mode requires activation of motors"). I have to kill and re-start the app.

What is wrong?

Could anyone please describe a simple way to do a single row panorama with a pre-defined number of steps (images) and a pre-defined rotation (e.g. 45 degrees) between each image)?

Thanks for help (or clarification)

Ive also tried to move the slider in freerun mode but the buttons are grayed out and I am unable to move the slider. 

Please help.

App Version: v3.0.5 (Android)
Controller Firmware: v3.0

Scenario :
Row  Pictures  Angle

1               1                 90.0
2              7                 30.0
3              7               -30.0
4              2               -90.0

So I was expecting to those 2 images will be rotated by 45 degrees as per
But those pictures was rotated 180 degrees which is not useful for patching tripod.

I'm experiencing this issue with my Pine controller: when in Video mode and setting up start and end keyframes the Slide control gets "stuck", meaning that the carriage keeps moving in the selected direction even though I remove my finger from the slider control and it returns to the central position. In order to stop the motor I have to move the control to the opposite direction. It is also somewhat less responsive to the touch action.

I moved from iPhone 5S to XS iOS 13.3.1

Thanx

Hi

when in freerun mode, I can't enter a negative manual position value. Degrees or mm doesn't matter.

The minus sign is available on the keyboard but does not show a character when clicked.

All the Best
