Supported camera with fully electronic shutter?

Post by Francis Rath » Thu Jun 04, 2015 9:18 pm

I am looking to set up a very long term time lapse recording (several months) and I need a camera that I can trust to continue working.Currently I have used the Nikon D3200 a bit, and it works well, but since it has a mechanical shutter with a life of "only" 100.000 exposures (and a lot more if you are lucky) I don't really trust it in the long term (project is expected to be 200.000-300.000 exposures, and most pictures will be deleted).Does anyone here know of a reasonably priced camera that has fully electronic shutter and works with DigiCamControl? Thanks in advance,Francis

There was some tests with Nikon 1 but i don't get any reports back if is working or not. But you can try Nikon Coolpix L830, 5300, 5400 this models was reported to work, at least for capture

Hi Dear Duka Istvan
I am looking to setup a very long term time lapse recording (12 month ) i make electronic system and timing to take photo with canon DSLR with remote connection, but i cant receive this photos from web , for this work i need to transfer my photos to FTP or other solution that received photos via web or mobile applications. I need a software only transfer file after take photo in Canon DSLR to folder of computer, can i customize DIGICAMCONTROL that only upload files to selected folder in local FTP or Web (http) ?

Hi,
yes you can setup the FTP autoexport plugin to upload to a server every file right after the file was captured

Hi try this version https://s3.amazonaws.com/download.digic ... 0.16.0.exe in session settings is a option to delete photo from card after transfer
