Specifies a time of day when an operation should end. Must be specified before
sleep_until or start_time. Currently, only the command time_lapse supports this
feature.
sleep_until h,m
start_time h,m
The camera waits until the specified time of day (h = hours, m = minutes). During that
time the screen is darkened.
