First of all thanks to the community for answering noob questions. I am having an issue while testing out QR codes, in that my Hero8 doesn't always seem to turn off after taking night lapse sequences. I tried out this simple code this morning to start a night lapse at 5:00am and run for an hour: !05:00mNL!S!3600E. When I checked my camera out around 7:25 it had recorded the nightlapse but the screen was still on and the battery which started out at 100% when I input the code last night was down at 25%. I figure I can try to put in a camera-off command after the time-lapse completes !05:00mNL!S!3600E!06:05O, but it's weird that the camera doesn't auto power-off on it's own.
Thanks Dan. I've not had issues with the regular video modes. If I use !3600E for the stop time, is this independent of the capture interval? I believe I had night mode set to capture once every four seconds, could this somehow be confusing the timer? I'll try a set capture interval such as !05:00mNL!S!06:00E tonight and see if this makes a difference.
For what it's worth, I found a workaround by adding !<time>O to the end of my command string, worked a charm. A couple of other bugs, which maybe will be worth a clue, are that the camera seems to change alot of my default settings after running. It changes default on setting to whatever I used in the command string, in this case night-lapse, as well as turning my voice commands and wireless connections to "off". It doesn't mess around with changes to individual modes however (such as action video settings). I haven't had time to eperiment to see if this happens only when a !<hh:mm>"command" is used or if it also happens with a !<seconds delay>"command" code is used.
I found the issue. Some of the Labs wake commands turn off voice, WiFi and Quick Capture -- this is somewhat by design, either to enable the hacked feature or preserve power.
