OT: Panasonic AG HMC151 and Time Lapse

Hi,

Does anybody know how to create time lapse on AG HMC151 ?

I have to conduct project with one time lapse shot but it will take about 7days... and in other location then I live. Option with normal recording and making time lapse in post production is not valid - furthermore I can't copy with recording which is 7 days long...

HMC151 has no time lapse (interval recording) like HMC41 but I have LANC controller inputs (both analog and digital). There is a lot of LANC controllers on the market but only with rec/stop/iris/zoom function but I can't find TIMER or INTERVALOMETER for Panasonic camcorder.

Can anybody help ? (link?)

Or : maybe somebody know where to find LANC protocol commands specification for Panasonic AG HMC 151 ?

Best regards,

I have the HMC150. Panasonic cams use a proprietary remote protocol instead of LANC and I am not aware of any that will allow timer or intervalometer control. I too would like to have that capability. I use my Nikon D200 DSLR with its built in intervalometer to do time lapse.

Hi,

I have seen in net relations of LANC controllers users that claim : if HMC150 is similar to AG-DVX100A (and there is no 5pin Panasonic LANC Control-M connector), you can use standard LANC controller.

But it is difficult to proove this.

In my opinion it's possible because (if I'm not wrong) timer uses so called "analog" input of HMC151 remote controller (record start / record stop) and doesn't even touch more serious issues like focus and iris progress or speed characteristic.

I have found something like this :

This is Sony timer (discounted product I think) but can't recognize model. It would be good point of start for further sarching.

Best regards,
