How can I capture pictures at regular intervals?

I haven't really tried, but the canon website says:

"We have discovered a problem with the connection with cameras using EOS Utility with 10.6.8.

Do not use EOS Utility if you use 10.6.8"

Don't know about that. Really don't use the Canon SW all that much, so there might be problems I've never encountered.

All I can say is as universal apps they will run open in Lion, if there are any bugs I can't say.

Jim -- (a simple -- probably too simple -- suggestion) -- have you tried tripping the shutter with an intervalometer?

You're talking about the Canon SW here? Don't know, as I wrote 2.8.1 starts up and does the basic for me on Lion. I downloaded 2.10 the other day but never installed it, I'll look at it later and see what happens.

BTW have you tried the script? Would appreciate any feedback you might have.

Kirby's suggestion to go the hardware route is a good one if being tethered isn;t a requirement. In your fist post you seemed to indicate that you wanted to do this while tethered.

I put them in same purchase category as wireless shutter releases (not to be confused with wireless flash controllers 😉 ): they work, the designs change regularly (different switches, plugs, buttons, batteries, lights), the quality controls are good but not great, the companies providing them have fluid reputations and even existences. Intervalometers are more expensive than wireless shutter releases, but not expensive relative to the cost of making photographs today. All of which is to say: buy two if you need them, buy replacement batteries, and don't spend more than half an hour trying to fix one.

The Amazon consumer rankings may help you make your guess a good one.

Even tethered (at least with my Sony) you can still trip the shutter any way you want (direct, wired, wireless, from the computer) and the session will proceed normally (everything that happens after the shutter is tripped happens). I don't know if this helps Jim, but the use of an intervalometer doesn't prohibit a tethered set-up (afaik).

True, but if he's tethered he can save the bucks and use the script I posted.

It was an economic suggestion, not a technical one. 😉

Yes 🙂 . I only suggested it when it appeared that the script wasn't working for Jim.

Isn't it working? With the "Access for assistive devices enabled" I thought the script is fine now? 😕

Apologies. Hadn't fingered all the tendrils 😊 . Going to go reboot the noggin, now.

No apologies needed - on the contrary - thank you so much! I am very grateful to you for posting that link to the intervalometers 🙂 my little Lumix that I use on hiking trips cannot be tethered, and I have to find a solution for timed shots while out in the field.

Cheers

OT:

I have one for Lumix cameras -- I used mine with a G1 -- that I will send you (if you'll accept it in lieu of Yuengling). It handily doubles as a wired remote.

Emailed you at your uni.de address.

Kirby.
