DSLR Automatic Time Lapse

This script is created to take a time lapse overnight on a DSLR camera compatible with the gphoto2 library. I am using my Nikon D3200 and a RPi Zero W for the setup.

Dependencies & Setup

• gphoto2 ($ pip install gphoto2)
• astral ($ pip install astral)
• argparse ($ pip install argparse)

Connect RPi (or other device) to the camera using the USB cable.

Execution

$ python3 DSLR_timelapse.py [-h] [--start-time START_TIME] [--end-time END_TIME] [--offset OFFSET] [--reverse-offset REVERSE_OFFSET] [--img-size IMG_SIZE] delay

Main parameters to control:

• delay between pictures
• start/end time
• offset from start/end time
