Digital cameras these days have so many different modes, such as "Panorama Stitch Mode" and Video Mode", why not add another? I would like there to be a "Time-lapse Mode" for digital cameras. If you don't know what time lapse photography is, click on the link.
It should be pretty easy to do, since
I believe it's only a software thing.
The time between exposures should be adjustable, and the exposure time should be adjustable, and there should be a manual override function (meaning you can take a frame by pushing the button yourself).
Actually there should be two time-lapse modes: one that saves as a video, and one that saves as individual images.

Pick the features you want. It can only show ten cameras at a time so you need to narrow down your selection more. [st3f, Jan 06 2008]

My phone's camera already does this (Nokia n95) although, admittedly, this crashes it so thoroughly that I have to take the battery out. |

Nikon D200 has some of the functionality that you mention, but needs quicktime to make a video out if it. |

I have an oldish Cannon Ixus that came with software that allowed you to use it in a time-lapse fashion - it was a pain to use, because the lead supplied with the camera meant that every time you wanted to do some time-lapse, it had to be within 2 feet of the computer - and normally, there's not much going on around there - timelapse wise. |

[+] because I'd like it on my camera phone
(even though it's allegedly baked on Mr.
Ricshaw's Nokia). |

I spent a bit of time making an example. A bit fiddly, see link. |

Sorry, is this the camera, or your mind ? We ask merely for information. |

My son's Canon Ixus (SD1000) does this -
it can take time-lapse movies at either
1fps or 0.5fps. It can do this without
having to be connected to a computer. |

My ancient Kodak DC-260 can do dat, and more. It actually has its own scripting language. What a classic cam! |
