[@SEAFISHINGwithCJ]

@@VicBarry noy sure what I was doing last night because tonight it worked fine.

[@mkoenig57]

Check the settings for mechanical/electronic shutter. If the camera is in "electronic" shutter, it will max out at 4 seconds, so your night shots will suck.

[@jiaj1985]

Excellent info as always! I'm trying to make a timelapse of a 3d print over 5 hours. I have to get pretty close up but I'm having a hard time setting up the focus. Manual focus doesn't work so well since there is nothing to focus on in the beginning. Then once the item is printed its blurry because I haven't focused on it. I have the focus set to wide but there is no option for autofocus. I would just like to focus on the whole plate and not just a specific part. Any ideas on the best focus settings for a close up on a moving subject?

[@VicBarry]

Hey there, so, few options on the manual focus setup. Put something on the printer where the printed item will form and focus on that. Then leave the camera on manual focus and remove what ever you're using to get the focus correct and then print. Also, the lower the aperture number, then the less you have to play with from a focus perspective. Put the aperture higher and you'll have more of the image in focus. Does that make sense?

When you import the photos, highlight them all and on the lower left of the import box you should see image sequence. Make sure that’s ticked.

@@VicBarry Hey Vic! Great great channel btw. Must the import be directly from the ZV-1? I imported the footage to Lightroom (LR), edited it then saved it.

Once you’ve the files exported from light room they should be good to go provided they follow a numbered sequence so that way premiere knows which order to put them in

[@henrytheturnip]

Thanks for the video Vic. Trying to get my head around exposing an image in a rapidly changing lightscape when using a MSM slider, like the Slypod. My understanding is that the Sony in-built intervalometer averages out the exposure on the previous number of frames to determine the next one, but triggering the shutter from an external unit loses this 'averaging' and exposes just for each shot, is that correct?

Hey Helen, yeah, at this size of camera and considering what it does, battery life is always going to be poor enough. Although it's better than it has been on other Sony cameras in the RX line.

Nice video sir. I'm not really impressed with the timelapse feature compared to Canon g7 mkii. When you do a time-lapse, its automatically stitched together into a video file. On the Sony, you have to do a lot of work to accomplish the same result.

[@VicBarry]

Hey Ray, yeah. I take the point, however with a bunch of photos you have so much more control over the final look and even more resolution to play with. IMO anyway

[@malicahamilton]

I know that’s my frustration also 😭 I’m just gonna have to stick with my G7X for timelapses for now

[@mkoenig57]

Yes, this is a big disappointment. Up until the RX100 mkV, Sony offered the Play Memories apps. The timelapse app there was awesome. It has a bunch of automatic presets, and allowed you to make movies AND record the photos too. It was really good. I can't believe they took that away instead of just building it into the firmware. In some ways, the RX100 V is a much better time lapse camera.

[@Raymond23rdOBC]

@@VicBarry yes, but its geared to vloggers that travel or on the move for the most part. If I wanted the most control over quality, id still use a dslr over this. It's nice and compact, but the memory hog gets annoying and not fun to use on post. I just get annoyed on unnecessary steps is all.

Hey Kai, thanks for the comment. I'd argue that it is easy. If you're using Premiere for example (other software may be slightly different but the principle is the same) it's the same as importing a video, except you have one extra click and thats to check the box to import all the images as an image sequence. As for the shutter sound, you can indeed turn it off completely. Customer Operation2 (2nd Menu) Page 9/9 - Audio Signals: Off - There will be no shutter sound for internval shooting or any shooting for that matter. Hope that helps.

[@tsizzle]

For a point and shoot, the entire time lapse to video assembly process should have been done in camera (as an in camera process) after shooting time lapse (result output as a video file). I believe that’s how Canon and most smart phones does it and it seems way more convenient.

[@VicBarry]

Hey there, yeah, it's a fair point, however this gives you complete control over the process from an editing perspective and as you're dealing with high resolution images it can make all the difference in how it looks, compared to a compressed video the camera could spit out. But I get your point about convenience. And for most people who are watching on a phone, it probably won't make a difference to them.

[@BigTrainBuff]

Absolutely right and a deal breaker for me. If the images were assembled in-camera you could always edit most things in a video editor if needed. There should be an option for in-camera assembly. Sony could have done that but choose to be an odd ball camera maker.

[@VicBarry]

Sure you could edit in them in an editor but you lose the huge resolution and image control that you’d get from a bunch of photos.

[@gregoz6]

Great, so I just spent $1000 on a device and now I need to buy Adobe Premiere Pro to transfer all the pictures to my laptop, learn how to use Premiere, import them into Adobe, organize by name, and export the movie. That's easy. Now I can upload it to my iPhone and share it with my friends. So, wait, why not shoot the time-lapse on my iPhone and share it instantly with all my friends without the bother of Adobe, transfers, organizing, uploading, and downloading? :-D Sony must be kidding..

Fair point. But ultimately doing it this way gives you complete control. More resolution etc. But really depends on where the final product is going so it’s not going to be for everybody
