80D Drive question

tonesnico

On my much older T2i there was a drive mode on self timer where I was able to select the camera to shoot 10 pictures in a row on self timer. For example, I could put it on a tripod and have it set to take 30 second exposures 10 straight times, something I would do for example in capturing lightning shots. Does the 80D have this feature, because I can’t seem to find it?

May not meet the OP's use case, which was up to 10 rapid fire shots trying to capture lightning. 


I agree.  This needs more testing.  What happens when the shutter is set longer than the interval?  I set the interval to 1 second and the same 3 shots, while the shutter to 1.3 seconds.  [ no shutter delay timer was used ]

 

Without any shutter delay, all I got was two shots.  Again, the longer delay [this time the shutter] took priority over the shorter delay [this time the interval].

I never had a newer Rebel than the T2i.
