Python S60 - Time-lapse Photography Using a Nokia N80
Just threw this together as a learning project. This little python script will allow you to do time-lapse photography using a symbian device using Python S60 3rd Edition. The script asks you how many photos you wish to take and the delay between each picture. You can also choose different settings for the pictures.
Tested only on a Nokia N80, might need some tweaking for other phone.
Haven’t found anything to take a time-lapse photograph of yet, maybe I’ll get the girlfriend some flowers tomorrow ;) Enjoy

hi you have a few bugs in the softwere. I didn’t find an email to send the list (and make a few suggestions), so i leave my email here. and feel free to contact me.
This is a great patch, and thank you for it. But you can make it a thousand time better. *BTW asked some friends and they chcecked it on N73 and N93 and it works there

Hi Ronen_C thanks for your comments…will send you my email.
As this was my first experiment with python s60 I am sure it is riddled with bugs. I might have a go in a few weeks to write a better version of the script.

You neecd to install PythonScriptShell_1_3_17_3rdEd ….then copy the time-lapse script to your phone and run it.

Hi!
This script works great on the Nokia 3250.
The only problem is that I need to take pictures with a short interval.
But, I believe it’s a python issue, the script takes about 20 or 30 seconds
to save each picture!
Is there any solutions to this?
Any other application?
Thank you!

SSJr - You might wanna try reducing the resolution of the pic, maybe that way it’ll save faster, otherwise I know there are projects out there that let you do time-lapse with a real camera. Picture quality is really not so good on nokias by the way.

Wow, i was looking for such an application for such a looooong time, finally somebody made it :D .
it took me a bit of tinkering with the code (not too difficult considering i have never used a script language before :) )to make it work on my Nokia 6630, but all i had to do was just take out all of the advanced photo options and it works fine now
thank you very much, now i just have to figure out what to take pictures of :)

Hello, i wanna say that this script also works with a N70 series60 2nd of course after installing python and the script shell (and put a folder called python/timelapse on the card).
Only running this script with an imageresolution of 1280x960 doesnt work. And i havnt try this but i think the "red_eye_reduce" also doesnt work, 'cause my mobilecamera hasnt such of these functions.
I say thank you for that great script. Now i have the right task for my mobile ;-)

Just to let you know I made a script like this over a year ago. Mine however has a few bugs and instead of taking a fixed/selected number of images, just keeps taking images till you tell it to stop.
However it also has a few nice things like previews of the images it's been taking, resolution options, etc.
It was made for a n70 but should work on newer phones too if someone wants to use it (though I recommend fixing the bugs first).

Hey there! Just wanted to say thanks for a wonderful script. Sadly, i couldn't get it to work on the N73...did some modifications and now it's working fine. I've included a link to your site at my blog. Hope that's ok with you :)
