Set a 5d to go off every five minutes?

<p>Is there a way to set a 5d to go off every 5 minutes(or other amount of time) automatically for an extended period of time?</p>

<p>You can do it, but you will need additional equipment to do so. These are your options</p>

<ul>

<li>If you are in a studio setting use Canon's software and shoot threaded to a computer, works very well.</li>

<li>If you are thinking about outdoor shooting or simply can not shoot threaded there is a little thing cannon makes called: TC-80N3.</li>

</ul>

<p>But keep looking there might be something I have not heard of ;)<br>

Happy Shooting!<br>

<p>Not with internal means of the camera ...<br>

you can either use Canons TC-80N3 (Timer Remote Controller). Also, some third party battery grips do have such a functionality integrated. (Search the *bay for BG E4).</p>

<p>Just looked around and there is an off-brand device like TC-80N3 at 1/3 cost that looks like it would do the job very well. Search for Timer Remote C3 for Canon on *bay type sites... <br>

I heve no clue how well it works however, I would be surprised though if someone around here is not using it already.<br>

Again, happy shooting!<br>
