Hi,
I'm planning on using my T3 coupled to a 1000mm telephoto lens to capture the total solar eclipse this summer.
But I don't want to spend the precious moments of totality fiddling with my camera. In fact, I don't want to even TOUCH the camera.
I've found software that automates a series of scripted time/exposure sequences when the camera is hooked to a laptop. It says it is compatible with The whole Rebel T and Ti series.
I'm doing this so that I can take many photo's quickly and pass the data directly to the computer, instead of getting the camera bogged down writing the data to a limited storage SD card. This should free up the camera to recover from bursts faster.
I see many many cabling solutions for mating the computer and camera, but they all seem to involve Canon models that use the TC-80N3 remote switch, but none with the RS-60E3 switch cable end to connect to my T3.
So, even though the software says it works with the T3, is there some limitation on the camera itself that prevents a solution to properly cable this project?
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
