When I compare the running time of 60 second time lapse with 1080P video, I get 106 minutes vs 96 minutes on a single battery. Might as well shoot video for my use case then.
My question is, is it possible to control the power mode of the camera with a script or otherwise make a script to improve the running time of a time lapse?
What I am looking for is having a time lapse covering as large time window as possible, 1 photo every minute (or every 5 minutes) would be enough, so going into standby mode in between photos would make a lot of sense. Access to external power does not exist and I would have to carry all batteries so I want it to be as efficient as possible. Thanks.
