Mildly off-topic, but it does make you wonder why they didn't give us a -3 or -6dB menu option on the gain, like pro cameras. In daylight we're always having to slap the ND into place....and I see noise all the time, not just in the blacks. The lack of a negative gain is really odd to me, since it would make the camera look soooooooo much better.

Barry thanks so much for posting this awhile back. I was able to finally mess around with this for some personal work I'm doing. I am curious though, why doesnt this work in 480i or 1080i? Or does it and im doing something wrong? I looked on this thread to see if you explain this, but didn't see why. Maybe I missed it? Thanks again for the post..

Variable frame rates are only possible in the 720p mode, but there are a few variable frame rates you can simulate in 1080. You could get 2fps in 1080, for example, by shooting in 1080/30p and using the intervalometer to choose an interval time of 16F. However, it won't look anything like this "streaking" footage because you'd have a maximum shutter speed of 1/30th of a second, whereas in the 720p mode you can get 350 degrees at 2 fps, for a shutter duration of 1/2 second.

Thanks Barry, too bad it doesnt work in 1080!

Out of curiousity, what is the difference between the 2fps hack and Interval recording at 2fps?

Mainly the ability to get the 1/2 second shutter speed.
