These five aspects need to be considered when setting the parameters of time-lapse photography.

1, what you shoot determines the setting of your interval shooting time. For example, if you shoot a city road with heavy traffic and high speed, it is obvious that the interval between shooting each photo should be slightly shorter, and the interval should be around 1 second, so that the later composite video will also have a delayed effect and be smoother. If the interval exceeds 1 sec or longer, the final effect will be very strong.

2. The effect requirement of each photo (each frame) determines the shutter speed of the camera. If you want to shoot the track left by a smooth car at night, the shutter speed of the camera needs to be set slowly, so as to shoot the colorful track of slow people, and such track changes can better reflect the charm of time-lapse photography.

3. Time-lapse photography must be exposed manually (M file). After setting the aperture, shutter and sensitivity manually, do not change the settings to ensure the continuity of the picture, let alone use aperture priority, shutter priority or other exposure modes. In addition to manual exposure, other exposure methods will cause each photo (frame) to be different because of the change of shooting environment light, which will lead to serious jumping and jumping in the later synthetic video.

4. The shooting quantity is set according to the demand. If you want to synthesize a video, you need to take 25 photos a second. For example, if you need to shoot an effective picture for 5 seconds, then 5×25= 125, depending on the shooting settings.

5. When taking pictures for a long time, the camera settings should avoid using large aperture or small aperture. For example, in order to get a clearer range, we will choose a smaller aperture to match the hyperfocal distance, but don't use a too small aperture, such as f22 or f32, because the electrical signal in long-term exposure will affect the imaging quality, and there will be a lot of noise in the image. Therefore, it is recommended to set the aperture to F8-F 1658.
