I can’t seem to figure out how to get this all setup on my r8 though. Anyone know?</P> Wed, 17 Jul 2024 05:54:13 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/Trying-to-setup-Astro-photography-with-an-r8/m-p/488327#M118796 skanda2 2024-07-17T05:54:13Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/Trying-to-setup-Astro-photography-with-an-r8/m-p/488421#M118808 <P>Hello, and welcome to the forum!</P> <P>I think what you want is the interval timer, or often referred to as time-lapse.
