I am having some difficulty getting the built in intervalometer on the Nikon Z6 set up. When I go into the menu to set up, everything seems find until I change "interval Priority" to "On." When I do this, it resets the interval X shots" screen so I'm only taking one shot per interval. I've tried adjusting the shutter speed to work with the calculations and nothing seems to work. 

 

I thought I understood this based on my internet research, but clearly, I'm doing something wrong.

 

As an example of my understanding (or lack of):

Interval = 2 minutes

Interval X shots = 10 X 3

Shutter Speed = 30 seconds 

 

It should take 90 with another 30 seconds to spare for overhead/processing/etc. This should work, right? It does only until I set Interval Priority to "OFF."

 

Additionally, I'm using manual shooting mode, manual focus, etc. I could understand that if my calcs were off, that the intervalometer would just shut off or not take as many pictures as I expected, but I'm just trying to figure out why I can't increase my intervals X shots beyond 1.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

with this being new camera in all might take time for firmware update or this item does not work with mirrorless camera. i notice when i take pictures how fast it takes them. so could be fact take pictures faster then dslr camera since you have to wait for shutter move. since no shutter in mirrorless body you get faster picture and no black out like in dslr cameras
