Let me know if try this out and how you made out! If already know what your doing, maybe you have some tips to share!

[@BecOutWest]

WA here too!!!!

[@HuwRichards]

Great video thanks!

[@HarrisonDodgeInnovations]

I don't often think to us my GH5 time lapse, I usually use a Nikon, but since you share this I will give it a shot. Thanks.....

[@talkinpictures1903]

Thank you for such an informative video, very helpful!

[@havinfun4014]

Thanks for watching. Glad it helped you out.

[@iSpike]

Great stuff thanks very much for the tips new to a GH5 - new subscriber here. Cheers from Western Australia 👍🏻📸

[@iCarl500]

I tried to do it but had some issues with hot pixels. What can I do for it ? (GH5 12-35mm f2.8 at f2.8 30s iso 800)

[@TamaraSouchko]

great, I made it! Thanks!

[@sandeepmates]

Thanks..informative.....I learned and going to try

[@Baucan]

Can we make 'Pause' on a timelapse with the GH5 ? I know with the G7 it's easy but I don't find the same way to do it...

[@OntarioHikingTrails]

Love the tutorial I just got my GH5 last Christmas and have not done a time laps

[@sandy_vb]

What happens if you did everything but forgot to set the dial to 'timelapse'?

[@babakbabak4589]

nice

[@raymondyanger2024]

Great Time Lapse Set - up help video. Does frame rate 60 vs 30 vs 24, mbps 200 vs 100 vs 50 , or rec time for those , make any difference since the final in cam video has choices like 4k@24p ?

[@havinfun4014]

Thanks! I normally do my timelapse as a post process. So basically just bring the photos into Adobe lightroom/premiere and go from there... grading and scaling the video and setting frame rate at that point. The in camera timelapse creation is fine if you dobt have a custom colour setting, otherwise you want to have an opportunity to colour grade the photos before create the final video. Being a time lapse i dont think there would be a noticeable difference between 24/30/60. I typically do 24fps for video so if my time lapse is part of that video i will set it at 24. The timelapse really comes down to what you photo settigs are aspect ratio and quality setting.

I know this post was older but thank you for the reply HavinFun !

[@ReinhardBiller]

I'm new to Mirrorless cameras, do you use electronic shutter or mechanical shutter for timelapses?

[@havinfun4014]

Mechanical. I believe the G series Lumix all come defaulted to mechanical.

[@sandeepmates]

Thanks , quite helpful.. let me try and report to you

[@JulianMakes]

Thanks

[@speliotis]

do you shoot in Raw or Jpeg for Time lapses?

[@coloradobriggz]

Do raw for sure

[@Havreringar]

How does the shooting intervall correlate to shutter speed? 12 sec shooting intervall seemed like it had to do with a shutter speed of 10 secs but in your example you're on 20 sec (22 sec shooting interval?).

[@havinfun4014]

Yes, the extra interval is to allow the internal processes of the camera to complete before it begins the next frame, That comes from my experience with time lapse, which if you set the shutter speed to 10s, and also had an interval of 10s, you would lose frames (at the end). for an example if you had set 10 images, at a 10sec interval, with a 10 second exposure time, you would only get *5* exposures. as far as i can tell, the software begins the timer, 10 seconds.... Opens the shutter, 10 seconds go by, closes the shutter and saves the image, during this save cycle, you cut into the next exposures time, so it "skips" it, so your next exposure will not take place until the 20 seconds has passed... Hope that explains it and thanks for watching.

[@Havreringar]

Would you add 2 secs to all interval lengths (10 -> 12, 20 -> 22, 30 -> 32 etc)?

[@havinfun4014]

@@Havreringar Yes, but ONLY if the shutter speed is equal to my interval length.... if your simply doing a time lapse during the day, and you just want an exposure every 30 seconds, but your shutter speed is 100 milliseconds... then it is not necessary because there is plenty of time between shots.

[@Havreringar]

Great, thank you for taking the time!

[@sebbo85]

2:00 wrong settings, it's WAY to red at 5700K you should try it between 3000-3500 and you'll get a nice cold blue sky with stars and everything just to know ... oh and your interval is also wrong you should try every 5 seconds and you'll get your nightlapse without jitters

[@alquisolafilms1431]

so if ur shutter speed is 30secs then shooting interval will be 32 secs?

[@havinfun4014]

Alquisola Films yes you might get away with 31, just need to test it... you just need to allow some time for the post processing to take place before the next exposure. If you are using LSNR then its double that....

[@PolymerJones]

It’s midnight I just worked 12 hours and I need to figure out how to do this for 4am sheesh is there an auto Timelapse mode this is like ten thousand things to remember, I’m setting an iPhone too because I’m bound to fuck this up

[@LifeFlight101]

Is this possible with the 12-35ii f2.8?

[@havinfun4014]

Yes it should be ok, I have done it with OK results on the 12-60 kit lens from my G85.
