error in documentation

This appears to be the official documentation but there is an error that I have discovered.

the example in the --timelapse section has incorrect information it should read:

For example: -t 30000 -tl 2000 -o image%04d.jpg
will produce a capture starting in 2 seconds and continuing with a 2 second interval for an additional 30 seconds, ...

the rest is correct AFAIK, it was the timing I was trying to get correct. This is useful to know if you are doing a cron job because your first image will be delayed from the minute by -tl. I wanted to do images every 20 seconds and run a cron job every minute so I use -t 40000 -tl 20000. This takes a picture at 20/40/60 seconds so I get the correct interval on all pictures...

Thanks
Steve

You can git clone the documentation, make a change, then send a pull request to the documentation maintainers (Foundation). This is then peer reviewed and will be merged if it's all OK.

That particular file is not on github and is from 2013. Raspicam tools have changed a fair bit since then, so I'd recommend checking if it's still a problem in the proper documentation.
