sup /p/,
I'm coming to you, camera experts, because I am looking for a way of getting the most out of a lumix dc vario for timelapse. the software seems to cap the amount of pictures taken in a timelapse to 1000 while I need to go on for much longer.
The reason I stick to this camera is because we are setting a huge amount of those underwater in order to aquire fish abundance data (and we already have 20 of them). I have used CHDK on a canon camera before to make timelapse possible for thousands of photos, but I couldn't put my fingers on any similar tools for a panasonic lumix.

you guys got advice?
thx /p/ros

Not a lot of underwater/waterproof stuff on this board. There is of course a "famous" video of a guy who covers his Pentax DSLRs in sand, lens and all, and then simply washes them off with a hose. Worth considering, though it's obviously more investment than a simple tough-cam usually is.

Yeah dropping a dozen dslrs into the water would imply a much bigger investment which we just can't afford, sadly

>>2854886 Battery will run out long before your sequence reaches 1000 pictures. AFAIK.

It's not the time, it's the sheer number of shots that's going to kill the battery.

>>2855434 The information about battery performance should be out there but my Google-fu fails me. If it's anything like my AW100, the number of shots one can get with one charge is relatively small compared to dslr, certainly less than 1000.

If you already have one available, I'd suggest you try taking a 1000 shot sequence and see what happens.
