Mic - we don’t want to see pics of you sleeping :roll:

When I had my little Canon s50 P&S I tried an experiment. I set the intervalometer to fire on the hour every hour through the night. Set on a tripod and aimed at me in bed. No, I am not a sicko - I wanted to see what position I was at specific times.

Did this two nights running and the results were amazing. On both nights at exactly the same time I had disappeared beneath the doona. The experiment was prompted by my sleeping on one side and waking up in the morning on the same side. I wanted to know if I turned over in the night - and I did.

That's just cool! Is the intervalometer you mention a function in the camera? I have a Canon A75 and would be keen to have a play with that. I always go to sleep in a nice neat bed and wake up in a bed that has been torn apart by a tornado. I'd just like to know when it comes through...

Yes it was a feature of the Canon that I would love to see on a new version of the D70 - great for time lapse photography. :shock:

Chris, the D70 does have that capability, tethered to your PC via Nikon Capture Control. Although you had better make sure the battery lasts the night! ;)

You are so right Onyx - would be ideal with a laptop - it’s an idea - thanks for reminding me :D

Chris, what would you done if you caught yourself sitting up and screaming in the night when your camera was taking the pics of you asleep. Or, Maybe Sleepwalking. :shock:

Just a thought :?

Mic. :wink:

Chris, I did that with my video camera of me mowing the lawn, I think it took 2 seconds every 20 seconds or something, great fun

Gees Greg, I need sympathy at this horible time, not cold hard logical reasoning.

If it happens again, I will be changing.
