Interval by Johan Van Barel (http://www.vanbarel.com)
The purpose is to create a set of images taken at a given interval in minutes and seconds. It can be useful for photography of slow moving or changing objects like trees, plants, flowers, planets, weather etc. Later, the images can be used to create a sequence in the form of a movie. For long intervals you should disable the Power Saving options of your camera. This can be done in the <ALT> menu. In the Miscellaneous Stuff menu item set the Disable LCD Off value to Script, so the display won't turn off while in <ALT> mode or while a script is running.
