I have set up my Notes 10 to take pictures of the bird feeder by remote shutter control. I have set the screen stay awake option in the developer tab. The screen stays on but the camera automatically shut off after 3 minutes. How do I keep the camera stay on indefinitely?
 
I believe you can manually take photos over other options so maybe you could set up a time lapse to keep the cammera active until you press to take. You'd then have to delete all the empty lapse photos though.
I guess the other option would be waving the SPen now and then between modes as a keep alive.

Did you not raise this same question a couple of days ago?

Also. Breadded crab claws are really good.

The problem of setting the camera in the hyperlapse mode is when you press the remote control, it starts or stops the hyperlapse instead of taking a picture.

Does the overheating problem also true in hyperlapse mode?

the sensor gets hot when activated and that's the camera's way of reducing heat inside the device.

i would be weary of using any program that forces the camera to stay on constantly.

You'd probably be better of forking out for a motion activated cam that records to micro SD that can be transfered to your phone. They can be picked up for as little as £/$20 with night vision and motion detection.

Also you don't need to be near at hand to trigger the shot which could spook the wee birdies.
