 p.1 #8 · EOS M6 Mark II shutter count | |
Maybe the problem is I'm not using an "official" $25 RS-6-E3 from Canon, and my generic eBay remote, from offshore, who knows where. 😉 I suppose I could splurge and buy a real one, just once. The remotes I have, work with every other camera I own.
Wow, that's strange, because there's a whole complex, settings, in the menus, that is only accessible when it's in Video, not photo. After I sat with the camera for an hour, trying to guess, do I put it in Video and take still images, or edit the settings in "Video", but then put it back into photo?
The whole project, is about a small camera, mounted in a waterproof box, for time-Lapse. I've had minor success with GoPro (a corn field for a year!) but the quality isn't there and they overheat, and shut down. This is mostly a personal challenge project. I don't think there's a demand or payback.
So, the M version, is because I want to do Night Sky. I'm already working with old 20-D and 40-D DSLRs, which are inexpensive. They don't have the excellent low light capabilities that the mirrorless cameras have. Yes, I'm married to Canon.  Otherwise, it would be less stress to just buy something else, that has a remote cable release, and is designed for simplicity.
Just a recent example from the 40-D, which is mounted on a tripod. I can only work when it's clear and when there's no threat of rain or snow.
Enclosed unit, which I used for a Daffodil garden and then a squash plant over the Summer. The downloading images, was a bad idea. Next one, the camera will be landscape, and I'll swap the card out, every week.
Larger box would be good, but then the tripod or mount, starts to get large and heavy.
