Compatible with the following models: EOS 1D X Mark III EOS M6 / M6 Mark II / M50 / M50 Mark II / M200 EOS RP / R3 / R5 / R6 / R6 Mark II / R7 / R8 / R10 / R50 / R100 EOS 200D Mark II / 250D/SL3 EOS 850D/T8i EOS 90D PowerShot G5 X Mark II / G7 X Mark III / G9 X Mark II 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. AEB mode Take multiple pictures while using Auto Exposure Bracketing on your camera. 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. Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
