Can I take a selfie with time-lapse photography?

Of course.

Time-lapse photography in photography can better show the state of things changing with time, so it is widely loved by photographers. In fact, it is the effect of taking a lot of photos and playing them quickly. It can compress the process of minutes, hours or even days and years into a short time and play it in the form of video. The frame rate of playback is between slides and videos.

The time-lapse photography (interval photography) function in the camera is used for shooting. Generally speaking, we need to set the interval time of each photo in the camera, and then set the total number of photos to be taken, and the camera will automatically display the total time required to shoot the whole set of delayed material. The menu of each model is different. Please refer to the camera manual for specific setting methods.

First of all, you must use the manual focus mode to prevent the camera from refocusing before each photo, and the focus subject is offset or even unable to focus and take pictures.

The easiest way is to focus on the subject in auto focus mode, and then switch to manual focus mode to keep the focus on the subject. After switching to manual focus, be careful not to touch the lens focus ring by mistake to avoid focus shift.
