Any TC-80N3 remote owners?
I just picked up a Canon TC-80N3 remote and I have no idear how to use it. I tried setting it like I would imagine it would work, but no, it takes pictures faster than I set the interval time.

Idk how to set it up. Can you record a vid how you set it up? So I set the self timer to 1hr @ 30 second intervals, idk what long exposure mode is, and exposure count is 1. So bascially what I wanted set was for 1hr, every 30sec, take one picture.. right?

Technically, I don't own one, but I've been 'borrowing' one from a friend for over a year. Do you have a specific question? Otherwise I'll just have to say RFTM.
You're better off not setting a "timer," you want to set your INT (30 seconds) and the number of exposures you want (120?).

Correct. Use interval timer mode as described here:

As always, I suggest shooting in RAW. This allows you to make sure you have the same white balance across all of the photos. Depending on what your lighting is keep in mind that the exposure may change. Consider whether you should have it on an automatic exposure mode Tv/Av/P, or manual.

I figured out how to do it, Its one mode and thats it, I set the interval only 30sec and it did just that. Before I set the frames and interval and didnt work. How about shooting a time lapse from day into night? Do people quickly set the ISO, Aperture, and shutter speed between taking pictures or how do they do it?

Trial and error. If you can, collect data beforehand.
Tonight, set up the camera looking out a window with it set to a 20-30 minute interval and some settings. I'd consider something basic like:
Av Mode
ISO 100
f/8
Daylight White Balance
That will give you 30-60 photos over 15-20 hours.
From there you can see how things look.

If you're fiddling with the camera in between exposures, doesn't this defeat the purpose of your remote? At that point, just fire the shutter, too, and get your money back on the remote.
