## What is Intervalometer for Canon?

Shoot limitless timelapse, long-exposure, and astrophotography images with your Canon DSLR or mirrorless camera using our energy-efficient Bluetooth Intervalometer App. Or use it for self-portraits: Taking photos of yourself with a real camera does not have to mean running back and forth to beat a 10-second timer. An intervalometer lets your camera take repeated shots at set intervals, so you can step into the frame, adjust your pose, and capture more natural-looking self-portraits, solo travel photos, and hands-free selfies.

Longer Battery Life
Bluetooth (BLE = Bluetooth Low Energy) requires up to 90% less energy than Wifi, hence your battery will last longer.


BULB mode
Set the exposure time on your camera or switch to BULB mode and control the exposure time directly from the app without any time limit.


Unlimited Number of Photos and Automatic Stop
Choose between infinite triggering or an automatic stop after a set number of photos.


Alarm on Interruption and Automatic Reconnect
Sounds an alarm when the camera disconnects from the phone while shooting is in progress and automatically attempts to reconnect the app to the camera in order to continue shooting.


Continue in Background
Triggering continues even when the app is minimised in the background.


Video mode
The intervalometer also works in Video mode and can be used to re-start video recording. This might be useful for cameras that have a 30 minute video recording limit.

### 4/5 — Only one complaint

*2026-07-03, version 4.0.1*

Seems to work just fine, but it would be nice if the field you enter bulb time for was wider.  I do nighttime photography and some of my exposure times won’t fully display in the window provided.

### 1/5 — Useless outside of cell range

*2026-05-15, version 3.1.3*

Paid for lifetime sub. I regularly venture out of cell range to a Bortle 1 zone for astrophotography. This app will not work without a cell signal. 

Do not download if you need an Intervalometer outside of cell service. This should be fixed or spelled out on the tin at time of purchase. I wouldn't have bothered if I had known.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2025-03-02, version 3.1.2*

Good app. Took me a few hoes to get the set up right. Worth the trouble. Perfect for what I need.

### 5/5 — Best option to use an intervalometer for Canon M50 Cameras

*2025-02-09*

Excellent App ! Works perfectly and super easy to pair

### 3/5 — R50

*2025-01-30*

I came here from the website, where it says it is compatible with the R50, but it is not. If you can fix that detail, I will download it again and rate it. Thanks.

**Developer response:** Hi, I can confirm the R50 is supported. You can email me at help@intervalometer.app and I can help you set it up correctly. Best regards

### 5/5 — Good app for M50 mark ii and fast customer service

*2025-01-07, version 3.1.2*

This app is the best if you need intervalometer for taking self-portrait with your Canon M50 Mark ii. Their customer service is very nice and fast at responding my email! I just purchased a lifetime plan and I love it.

### 5/5 — Works Great

*2024-10-23, version 3.1.2*

Works great with my Canon R50.  Need this app since Canon removed connection for intervalometer.  Thanks for making this app and good price.

### 5/5 — Great to bypass the 30 min video limit !

*2024-05-22*

Exactly what I was looking for my Canon M50

### 4/5 — Great app

*2024-02-16*

This app is great. It works perfectly for my canon m50 mark ii. I use it for astrophotography and I’ve only had minor issues. The first issue is that when the camera disconnects you need to operate the camera manually again for the exposures to work properly. If you don’t the exposure will just go on until the camera dies or it gets shut off. My other issue is the range that my phone needs to be to my camera. I setup in my backyard and I can’t walk into my room or it goes out of range and disconnects (it’s probably around 30 feet from my camera to my room). This is frustrating but impressive for an app. Overall I love the app and wouldn’t be able to use my camera for what I want without it.

### 5/5 — Useful app

*2023-11-04, version 3.1.2*

The only advice from me would be to try and to make it a little bit more clear about how to connect the camera and all together. I managed to do it, but it took some time and a YouTube video. Other than that, I’ve had no problems and am glad that my camera has an intervalometer option because of this app
