Litchi Photos only ?

On the PC Mission Hub for Litchi I have a mission plan, but don't see how you do camera instructions (photos only that is - I have video figured out a bit anyway)? Is this done only on the app once you have connected to the camera and not on the PC?

I see where if I use straight lines I can do some camera instructions at each way point, such as "take photo". But in this particular case I would like to simply point the camera straight down (-90) and take photos say every few seconds along the flight route. Any help here? (I am new to this, if it isn't painfully obvious already)
Thanks

You can do timed shots in the go app, but I don't think you have that option in Litchi
 
...sounds like you'd be better served with mapping software - drone deploy, map pilot, etc. - unless you're going for a timelapse kinda deal, then maybe someone with experience with the auto pilot app could chime in and say if that function is in that beast of a flight program?
 
Thanks for the replies, I messed around some more and found I can do timed intervals in Litchi, but it can only be set within the app, not on the PC for pre flight planning. That's OK I guess, it would just be nice to do the full set on a home PC rather than the tablet - but that might just be me.
 
...the one in litchi is kinda hamstrung for me, as the shortest interval is ten seconds - so for making a timelapse, a twenty minute flight can only generate roughly a four-second clip...

Hmmm, on mine I was able to select 2 second intervals, but I haven't run it yet to see if that really is the case.
 
Sorry about the long delay - I got side tracked.....
Anyway, I am able to select a timer interval down to about 2 seconds and shoot stills while it flies. Works great.
