This is an instructional video to help figure out how to use Aputure Timer Remote Cord (intervalometer) for time lapse / timed photography.
The booklet with the item was basically worthless to start with, I used the below video as an aide to get me started:
After viewing the video and playing around with the device I was able to program and use it. It is an excellent device for time-lapse, remote shutter release, and to lock the shutter open.
The Aputure Timer Remote Cord used in this video is model AP-TR3N made for Nikon D3100. It is important when ordering any device as this to make sure it is made specific for your camera. Reason being the plug-in at the end of the cord is designed to fit specific camera as they vary from DSLR to DSLR.
In this video I used a Nikon D3100 set up in the automatic mode because I knew I would be photographing in just around 10 minutes with a cloudless sky, basically lighting conditions remaining static. However for longer photo session and with changing lighting conditions recommend using the manual mode.
Remember before plugging the device into your camera; make sure your camera is turned off. For this video I took 200 photographs at 3 second intervals. Then I used Cyberlink’s PowerDirector 9 to create the video. In the editing I timed each photograph at 4 seconds each.
Cameras used:
Nikon D3100 – for time laps photographs
Canon VIXIA HF M31 – to video the close up instruction on how to program the device. Also used to create the comparison video of the Interstate interchange ramp.
Canon ELPH 100 is – to video me in front of my desk, and video the camera set up outside by the roadside.
After creating the video I went back to the instruction manual that came with the device, and it became clearer.
