![]() ![]() This will prevent your computer from freezing up if it tries to open up too many large photos with quicktime. ![]() You will probably want to resize all of your photos beforehand. Personally, I like to use QuickTime Pro from Apple (as much as I don't like Apple.) First, copy all of you photos onto your computer hard drive and put them into a folder. What I don't like about this though is that you can't easily change the framerate of your video, so the final product will look slow and choppy. Youtube has a guide to compiling a video using Windows Movie Maker here. Now that you have all your pictures, all you need to do is put them together into a video. If you want to restart the program, all you have to do is press ENTER again, you don't need to go to the program dialog again. The program will now be stopped and you can turn your calculator off. You will see a prompt that says "ERR: BREAK". Turn the Program off - When you're done shooting, you can turn the program off by pressing or holding the ON button. Press Enter - Your camera should start snapping away! Now sit back and relax and make sure nothing explodes. If you don't want to think about this conversion every time, you can add a small piece of code in the program to do it for you. I think about 100 of these make a second, but this can change depending on battery life and your calculator model. Note: this is not the amount of time in seconds. Enter in the amount of time you want in between the pictures. On your screen, you should see the prompt "A=?". Find the program you made on the list, and press enter. This part is fairly easy: Connect your Camera and Calculator - Use the link cable from part 3 to connect the two Start the program - Turn on your calculator and press the PRGM button. If you're really worried about this you can actually modify the program to "wake up" the calculator before attempting to take a shot, this way you can keep the calculator in sleep mode. Turn camera sleep off - If you're going to be taking pictures with very large delays in between, you'll need to turn your camera sleep mode off. Some optional steps Turning picture review off - If you want to save battery life by not having the LCD turn on every time you take a picture, remember to turn the image review off. So, I usually turn my quality down to the lowest setting. Also, depending on your computer, it will take a LONG time to open up 200+ photos taken in the highest quality. My canon rebel can take pictures up to 6.3 megapixels, but this is very unnecessary if I'm going to make a small video to put on youtube. Set Quality - Depending on your camera and how much resolution you want, you will need to adjust your picture quality. Like with the focus, exposure can change over time and it doesn't look good at all when your video is getting brighter and darker very quickly. If your camera has a manual exposure mode, or a lock exposure mode, it is very important that you use it. Set the exposure - This step might be even more crucial than the focus step. Also, if you're photographing the sky and there are no clouds in the frame, the camera won't be able to focus on anything at it might not take a picture at all. It won't look very good if the focus is rapidly changing in a video. ![]() This step is very important because your camera might decide to focus on something else in the picture if your subject moves. Focus - After focusing, switch your camera to manual focus, or use a lock focus feature if your camera has one. Don't forget that things can change over a long period of time. Set up your shot - Use a sturdy tripod and don't zoom in too tight. If outdoors, try to do this at a time where lighting conditions remain fairly constant. First, decide what you want to photograph. Thanks LightShadow756 for sending me the following code for the Ti-89: The above code is claimed to work on both TI-83 and Ti-84 models. It might work better if you write the program on a PC in assembler, then send it to the calculator, but you need a special link cable, and that kind of defeats the point of this instructable. I wrote one once that kept track of how many images were taken, displayed the estimated time remaining, etc, but it seems that it drains too much battery life and for some reason the calculator actually slowed down after a certain number of images. The function Send has to be selected by press 2nd -> 0 (catalog). The functions prompt, while, for, and end can be found by pressing the PRGM key again. I will try to get instructions for different models, but I will also have to convert the program to work with them also.ġ) Turn on your graphing calculator (duh)ģ) Press the Right arrow twice to highlight the tab at the top titled "New"Ħ) You are now ready to insert the following program. The following directions are for the Ti-83+. Depending on your calculator, this process might be a little different. ![]()
