This might be a newbie question, but then I am a newbie. When choosing the ramping order for a holy grail milky way time lapses I was thinking of: 0. Focus at infinity during daylight. 1. begin with a landscape-appropriate aperture, e.g. F8 or F5.6. 2. Set the limit aperture to that I would choose f...

Just want to report some success with a $30 dummy battery with just a USB-C cable and a small 2-year old small-ish power bank from Anker. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LNTPLCK https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B096TP4B1T I tested that this solution powered my Sony A7IV, my Sony A7RV, and my Sony A670...

The timelapse mode gives some weird and uninformative indication of the time remaining (or at least it does not make intuitive sense). https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/bpasgoyxl7y5zvdxdgu3i/2024-02-20-18.37.17.png?rlkey=96g2oe1wfowvg8g1yyciyvdix&dl=0 In the example above, I had set a series of three s...

Thanks Otto. I think I am going to try something simple first with a cheap dummy battery and the power bank I already have. If that turns out to be a bust, I might well come back to your web site.
I appreciate the knowledge.

Oliver, I want to confirm that the latest firmware update solves the issue. I am thrilled. Hoping for some clear nights to test on real stars as opposed to my home office. I have a follow-up question. The timelapse mode gives some weird and uninformative indication of the time remaining (or at least...

Works for me too! I still have some questions I will ask in the thread I started but I am ready to declare my unleashed usable, and wonderful!

So excited tonight to upgrade the firmware to the unleashed so that I can finally use it for long exposures on my Sony A7IV.
