What is time-lapse photography?

Generally, time-lapse photography mostly uses video transitions, such as sunrise and sunset, surging clouds, urban scenery, starry sky, tracks, etc ... These can be recorded by time-lapse photography, and a better visual impression can be displayed through fast-moving effects. Variety, movies, TV series, micro-movies, etc. Widely used, time-lapse photography has become an indispensable part of video shooting.

We know that ordinary video plays 24 frames per second, so if it takes 1 hour to record these 24 frames, then take a frame every few minutes, and then combine these 24 frames into a video of 1 second, which shows the time change of 1 hour within 1 second. This is time-lapse photography.

You may find it difficult to shoot time-lapse video. Shooting time-lapse video not only costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy cable release, but also learns how to set the shooting interval, which is a bit high for ordinary photographers. So, give you a super easy-to-use scheme of Amway. After installing this app, you can easily shoot a time-delayed video by setting the parameters in the app, so shoot a time-delayed video now.

Shooting preparation: micro-single ILCE-7SM2, lens SEL 1224G, tripod, time-lapse shooting app.

Ok, when you are ready, just choose a convenient and beautiful place to start shooting.

First open the app and enter the time-lapse shooting app.

There are many modes for theme selection. Because we have a variety of shooting environments, we choose a custom mode to shoot here.

Ps: Exposure parameters can only be adjusted in custom mode.

File format: There are three options * * * Video/Photo/Photo and Video * * *. I choose photos and videos, so that I can get a video directly, and photos are spare.

Interval and number of pictures: The shooting interval and number of pictures determine our final video presentation time. I expect to record the time change of 2 1 min * * * 1260s * *, so the shooting interval can be set smaller. After a single exposure test, the shooting interval is 6s, so the number of pictures is set to 2 10 * * 1260s/6s * *.

AE: AE tracking function can realize the automatic exposure of the camera during the whole shooting process, without worrying about the exposure error caused by the change of field light. Try to reduce flicker after video synthesis in the later stage. This is extremely convenient!

AE setting prompt:

Lock * * * AEL * * *-–Shoot scenes with no change in exposure, such as shooting scenes with no change in light indoors.

Tracking lo—— When the exposure changes slightly during shooting, such as shooting street scenes during the day, there may be a little light change.

Mid-tracking-exposure changes when shooting, for example, when shooting at noon, the sun will change under the movement and occlusion of clouds.

Tracking hi-when shooting, the exposure changes dramatically, such as from sunset to night view of the city, and the light changes dramatically.

Tips:

In time-lapse photography, the focal length generally does not change, so MF should be used, and the focal length should be carefully confirmed before shooting. It is best to set the white balance manually, because there will be some light changes when shooting, and it can be customized to 5500K K. Ok, just wait silently for more than 20 minutes at this time, and then check the results.
