Is it at all possible to change the part that takes the picture to instead call a script each time so that it can request gphoto2 to take a picture with a DSLR? Not asking if it will pull the picture from the camera, as long as the frames are on the camera and thats it after the script I'm happy.
So yeah can, instead of taking a snapshot, can it call a script instead for crisper timelapses?

You can do this with a gpio trigger. Just FYI.

Hi @yourbuddydinec
Yes - you can choose Custom Script as the webcam type. It's also described here.

In your script you can then fetch the image from your camera, store it at the given location which is provided by Timelapse+ via a parameter and Timelapse+ will fetch it after the script has completed. If this takes too long, you can also try to return a smaller dummy picture to Timelapse+, so it doesn't produce any errors but the real photos are stored on your camera.
