Turn your camera into a timelapse machine. The ONNOA SmartTimer is a small intervalometer and remote shutter release for your camera. This app controls it: set up a timelapse, a long exposure or a remote shot in seconds, then follow every run live on your phone. Requires the ONNOA SmartTimer, a small device that attaches to your camera, sold separately at onnoa.de. The app does not work without it. TIMELAPSE • Linear Timelapse: a fixed interval for any number of shots, combined into a video afterwards. • Ramped Timelapse: place ramping points on a curve and the SmartTimer changes the interval along it. Speed your timelapse up or slow it down, or give your camera more time as night falls. LONG EXPOSURES • Bulb Mode: exposures from seconds to hours, beyond your camera's 30-second limit. For star trails, light painting or silky water. • Bulb Ramping: the bulb time follows a curve too, getting longer as the light fades, for day-to-night timelapses. • Exposure Calculator: enter a test exposure and your ND filter, and the app works out the bulb time for you. REMOTE TRIGGER • Fire your camera from up to 100 m away. • Tap to Shoot, Press and Hold, Single Shot and Sequence: shoot the instant it happens, or set a delay or a series without touching the camera. ADVANCED TRIGGERS (SmartTimer Pro Lightning) • Lightning Trigger: Capture lightning. Never miss a strike. • Laser Trigger: Break the beam. Never miss the moment again. The camera fires the moment something crosses the laser beam, ideal for wildlife and high-speed shots. WIRELESS OR BY CABLE • The SmartTimer connects to Sony, Canon and Nikon cameras over Bluetooth: pick yours from the list and connect. Ricoh GR cameras are supported in beta. • Every other camera with a remote port works by cable. BUILT FOR THE OUTDOORS • Up to 150 hours of battery life. • Weather-resistant from −30 °C to +50 °C. • Sunrise and sunset times for where you are. • Presets: prepare your settings before you reach the location. • Firmware updates straight from the app. Stop making boring timelapses. Get your SmartTimer at onnoa.de.
