The Sony A7RII needs longer intervals such as 8 seconds for Timelapse and Holy Grail modes since they use larger file sizes and transferring process of these photos from camera to Flex will be longer. Other Sony cameras can work with 5 seconds minimum interval value for Timelapse and Holy Grail modes.
Note: Some Sony cameras uses Flex SD Card for operations. Also some Sony cameras drains Flex battery that maybe shorts Flex battery life.
