Does Sony a7II camera have the function of time-lapse photography?

A7ii has no native delay function, and can be extended by installing app, which can be downloaded by Sony official website. Download and install "Le (Limited Edition)" using the PlayMemories camera application;

To download and purchase the full-page "Time-lapse Photography" APP, you need to go to Sony's official app store website and switch to Hong Kong to download it.

When shooting time-lapse photography, the camera's built-in timing photography function is generally used. If there is no such function, it must be done by releasing the timing cable. However, the mechanical setting, simple function expansibility and intelligence are not enough. In order to complete the time-lapse photography shooting more pertinently, Sony developed the APP "Time-lapse Photography (Charging)" specifically for time-lapse photography on its micro-single series fuselage with the help of the APP platform.

Briefly describe the basic process of shooting with "time delay shooting" APP.

1. First, put the micro camera on the tripod stably in the selected shooting scene (such as sunrise, road traffic and other big scenes that change obviously in a short time). Start the camera, then set the format and size of the photos taken, and make sure the memory card has enough space. Then press the menu button on the fuselage to enter the camera menu, find the column of "Application List", click Enter, and select the "Time Delay Shooting" app.

2. After entering the application interface, the theme selection menu is displayed, which provides a variety of convenient and intelligent shooting schemes, including cloudy, night sky, night scene, sunset, sunrise, miniature landscape, standard and custom. Among them, the custom mode is equivalent to the M-block used when taking pictures, and it has the strongest operability. Other modes are slightly simplified in the custom mode, which is convenient for users to quickly select the corresponding scene and reduce the occurrence of errors. Novices who are not familiar with the basic shooting parameters are advised to use the built-in scene mode to get familiar with it first.

3. After turning the dial wheel to custom mode, press the Delete key to enter the application setting menu. Set the File Format, and you can choose 24 frames/second and 30 frames/second. It is generally recommended to choose the standard 24 frames per second. The interval between two adjacent frames can be selected from 1 sec to 60 sec, and the number of captured images can be selected from 30 to 990. The last AE column is to set whether the exposure parameters follow the light changes of the scene. For example, if the scene is sunrise or sunset, it needs to be set to "tracking", that is, the gradual shutter tracks the exposure, which can automatically balance the exposure according to the change of light. Otherwise, it is set to AEL, that is, the exposure parameters are locked during shooting. After setting, press Enter to enter the shooting mode.

4. After entering the shooting mode, if it is the first time to run the program, it is recommended to press the menu button to enter the menu and turn on the functions of "self-timer" and "interval priority" in the APP.

When setting shooting parameters, it is necessary to calculate the interval time and the number of shots. The number of shots depends on the length of the final product. Take the finished product with the length of 10 second as an example. When 24 frames per second is selected, 10× 24 = 240 images will be taken. If you want to show the cloud effect in time-lapse photography, you can choose to take one picture every 3 seconds, so the total shooting time = total number of pictures × interval time, that is, 240× 3 = 720 seconds.
