Shooting TIME LAPSE VIDEO on the Panasonic Lumix G9

[@zabrielx]

Thank you for the continued tutorials on the Lumix g9! Really helpful

[@allenoakley1799]

SOOOOO many wonderful ways to use the G9. Thank you Andrew. Not many new videos on the G9 these days. Please keep the info coming.

[@KeywordManagement]

This is exactly what I was looking for...thank you. I shot a time lapse this morning and camera shut off before I could generate movie. You dropped some other great tips as well.

[@genemaysonet3558]

Excellent just bought my G9 a few months ago, and still learning so much to be done . Thank you Excellent video .

[@EvgeniyEmelyanov]

Thank you for reminding me about the shutdown NR in the camera.

[@MixiMera]

I did something similar to this with my old GH2 camera and an external remote with time laps built-in. But I expect this will be much nicer and more flexible in my G9. Thanks for showing this and explaining the pitfalls in doing it.

Helpfull tuturial, as I bought the G9ntwonweeks ago. What a fantastic camera.

[@sue.Hoo123]

Really interesting and simply explained and demonstrated. 👍

[@genemaysonet3558]

Excellent video 📸

[@naturesimagephotography]

Thank you very much!

[@prabhakarrao4922]

Many thanks

[@laurentyarp514]

Interesting. You are giving me inspiration. I was thinking in shooting the moon with the 100-400. Why not a moonrise timelapse ?

[@naturesimagephotography]

Why not indeed. Might give that a try some time but happy for you to beat me to it!

[@Casian17]

Thanks for this wonderful tutorial! I have one issue with my G9, even if I set the selector on Timelapse mode, nothing happens. I set everything corectly as in the video but it is only taking one photo. Would you know what would be the problem? Thanks in advance

[@oddocid9734]

Thanks a lot!

[@momentsPY]

Great video. Good tips for time-lapsing. I always use my DJI Osmo Action for time lapses as I could not get used to the many options on my GH5 and my G85 but will give it a new try now after these tips. Seasons Greetings from Paraguay.

Excellent video, thankyou

[@studioslaper4795]

Lucky guy at the end. Of course that is also "nature" 😉

[@TurboNorm]

Sadly, even with all the settings set, my camera doesn’t START the time lapse function when clicking the shutter.

[@neonbirding2680]

Time laps are awesome. Night Timelapse is even more awesome. Long exposure NR for night landscapes and the milky way is essential for the Lumix cameras. Without it "ON" there will be noise or small specks covering the image. Also, with G9, ISO 3200 is usable for time lapse, especially shooting a 2 row 6 shot panorama to capture the milky way with the Lumix 15mm f/1.7 at 13 or 15 second shutter speed, and 30 second interval for the in-camera Long Exposure NR to finish it's work.

[@naturesimagephotography]

Thanks for your comment. Yes I guess I should have made it clear that when I said night photography, I was really meaning things like my car tail-lights at night. Agreed, for milky way stuff the NR is pretty much essential.

I recently set up my G9 to take my first time lapse of a large canvas geodesic dome being erected over a four-hour period. My major problem was running out of battery … I don’t know whether it is possible to calculate battery life in advance. Thank you for pointing me to the frame rate … that was something I didn’t find!

[@naturesimagephotography]

I did see one KZbinr who recommended having the battery-pack grip. But at the very least I think it's important to begin any project with a fully charged battery.

[@sallyb7101]

I did start with a fully charged battery, but four hours at 1min separations consumed too much power. Have you seen any guidance?

[@naturesimagephotography]

Only what I mentioned previously, to consider getting the battery pack grip which allows you to add a second battery. I don't have it so I can't show you any content of my own, but here is a link I just found: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6KllYCkpLKmmJI

[@divyanshu777soni]

I am still confused. During long exposure time-lapses, should I keep shooting intervals greater than my shutter speed? I have seen cases where let's say both shutter speed and shooting interval are 10 seconds, it immediately clicks another photo once the previous one finishes. Can anyone please confirm for the Panasonic camera? I am using G85 by the way

[@jas.cinema]

Is the back button af something you use with video of just photos?

[@naturesimagephotography]

I don't really do so much video and usually it is with VFR video function in slow motion. That function is manual focus only. But yes when I shoot regular video on occasion, the AF will still be done using the back button.

[@jas.cinema]

@@naturesimagephotography ok thanks, Im not sure if you had to hold the button for continuous af in video

[@nickcarneyphotography]

Thanks for this. This may be a dumb question, but do you know if you set your start time to later if the camera needs to be turned on? Say if I wanna do a sunrise timelapse without having to wake up (as is often the case) could I just have it sitting there or would I need to have it plugged in charging and have it remain on. The latter seems more likely but with technology these days I can imagine it's possible for the former to work.

[@naturesimagephotography]

To be honest I have never tried the 'later' option. But I can make some guesses. You know when you have the camera switched on but you don't do anything with it for a while, after a few minutes it will go into a sleep mode? Still turned on but you have to do a half-press to wake it up and get it ready to shoot. So I expect with the 'later' option the camera would simply go to sleep and wake itself up when the time comes. Which means using little or no power at all in the sleep-time. So my guess is you leave it switched on but as long as you start with a fully charged battery, you would not need to keep it charging overnight.

[@nickcarneyphotography]

@@naturesimagephotography thank you! This makes sense. Will give it a go this weekend.

[@evenaicantfigurethisout]

hi, i noticed you have quite a bit of flickering at the golder hour round about 8 minute mark which i believe is caused by allowing the camera to compensate exposure automatically. have you since experimented with full manual mode (manually tweaking exposure to compensate) during those golden hours?

[@naturesimagephotography]

No I haven't. I doubt over such a time span with so many photos, I would be able to produce a better result myself than what the camera has done.

[@jettysplash]

Hi Andrew.Never mind about my slideshow question. I found what I needed. I don't know why make this so hard on myself...

[@naturesimagephotography]

I answered it in the BMAC page. Did you see it? I always wonder if people actually see my replies on that page...

[@jettysplash]

@@naturesimagephotography Yes, I just check and I got it. It went to my personal email. Thank you very much Andrew! The butterfly photo was a big surprise, especially for a hand held shot. As usual I can't wait to get out there again for more :)

[@Sk8WineMedia]

7:20 thank you, Lumix user for years... this is just a bit confusing!

[@willermax]

this is great well gone !
