This one’s all about timing.

With BT Cam 3.5, we’re introducing powerful new tools for photographers and filmmakers who want more control over when — and how — their shots are taken. Whether you just need a quick delay, a hands-free time-lapse setup, or a fully scripted sequence of shots, it’s all built right in.


🕓 Simple Timer — Classic and Easy

Sometimes all you need is a quick delay before the shutter fires.

The Simple Timer works just like the timer on your phone’s camera. Set a short countdown, tap the shutter, and get in position. It's perfect for:

  • Solo portraits
  • Group shots without a remote
  • Minimizing shake on long exposures

Fast, familiar, and built for those no-fuss moments.


⏱ Advanced Timer — Full Control Over Intervals

When you need a bit more power, the Advanced Timer gives you fine-grained control over your entire shooting sequence:

  • Set the interval between each shot
  • Define a precise exposure time (works with bulb mode)
  • Choose a number of shots, or shoot continuously

Perfect for:

  • Star trails
  • Timelapses
  • Light painting
  • Any creative sequence that needs consistent timing

🎬 Script Timer — Program Every Shot

The new Script Timer lets you schedule your entire shoot ahead of time.

You can:

  • Trigger actions at exact times
  • Set custom exposure lengths
  • Add notes or instructions for each step
  • Export & import scripts for future use

It’s like a playlist for your camera — just hit go and let it run.

Ideal for:

  • Eclipse photography
  • Nightscapes or astro timelapses
  • Scientific observations
  • Long sessions where timing is critical

🎥 For Videographers: Custom Video Time Limits

Many hybrid cameras have a frustrating time limit on video recording — often 30 minutes — and worse, they don’t even report when they stop.

That’s where Custom Video Time Limits comes in.

Now you can:

  • Manually set your camera’s known video time limit
  • Let BT Cam automatically stop and restart recording when that time is reached
  • Capture uninterrupted footage without babysitting your gear

This is built specifically for:

  • Event videographers
  • Wedding shooters
  • Live show and stage recordings
  • Podcast and content creators

No more missed footage. No more guesswork. Just smooth, continuous takes — even with the most limiting gear.
