While this can be convenient, I shoot in RAW and process my single files in a batch using Adobe Camera Raw for the best color and tones. Choose your settings and the camera will render a completed video. Some cameras with time-lapse settings such as many of the Panasonic cameras including the Lumix G9 for capture also can process finished files. If not, You can order an intervalometer for your camera. Most cameras these days have in-camera time-lapse settings. You’ll need to practice and play to find the settings that work for you.

A longer capture time of 3, 5 or 10 seconds would compress time even more. I choose the 60 fps version to get enough movement in the scene and to make the video be a reasonable length of one minute. I tried 12, 24, 30 and 60 frames per second (fps) playback. Over 1800 images were taken at one-second intervals in creation of this time-lapse video. Do not use automatic exposure settings such as Aperture or Shutter Priority as you will end up with a flickering of light between frames. If clouds are scudding through the scene you may want to have a faster or slower rate of capture.Ī note for best quality. Subject movement will be part of the determining factor for timing between shots.

The number of images you make and how many images per second which you process playback will determine the length of your finished time-lapse video. Timing between time-lapse shots is important. A time-lapse video makes it possible to choose from any number of images in order to create a single photo as above.įirst up is the creation of the image string for your time-lapse.
