7.11 Set intervalometry parameters
Intervalometry parameters are used to trigger camera shots based on time interval, distance traveled, or
field of view when the VMS-333 is also connected to a DSLR still camera. The VMS-333 contains flash
memory that “permanently” stores the parameters you set. This means the settings are maintained
when power is turned off or when the camera is removed from VMS-333. When the VMS-333 is
powered up again, it will use the stored values of the parameters. As a result, you only need to set the
parameters once.

Time.
The VMS-333 triggers the camera
to take pictures at specific time intervals.
You must also provide a value for
Time Interval
to determine the time between pictures. The range
is from every
10 ms
to
once a year
(most cameras will not shutter faster than about 200 ms per
picture). Enter the value in 10 ms increments. If you enter some other value, it will be rounded to
the closest 10 ms. For example, if you enter 12 ms, the time interval will be rounded to 10 ms.
