Time Lapse for Nikon Z

[@GhostStealth590]

Pro tip: Lock your ISO in Aperture Mode... If your timelapse doesn't rely on heavy movement and doesn't get too too dark, lock that ISO and Aperture, so the only thing that automatically changes is shutter speed. Again, if your timelapse doesn't rely on heavy movement, this is perfect. Also, make use of EV settings. A lot of times I set my EV to -1, because flat 0 usually makes the highlights blown out (on my Z7 ii at least). Great video, you're definitely a comfort KZbinr I love listening to.

I find you one of the easiest Educators to explain these things. Thank you so much

[@ShutterSpeak]

Thank you, much appreciated and thanks for watching!

[@Axis360]

I used the time-lapse movie as a test and did not know the differences of interval- I am going back to give interval a look. Thanks. Always learning more is a good thing!

[@ShutterSpeak]

Glad it was helpful!

[@andrewsentipal5133]

This was very good. I just bought my Z6 II and look forward to using the time lapse feature. Great tips. Love to see you do a night sky time lapse video.

Thank you for watching and commenting. I hope it helped you out :-)

[@glennjones5221]

Well told and clear to understand. Thanks so much!

[@yvescharmousse1692]

Hello Joseph! You now have a new subscriber. (French in addition 😃! and therefore very bad in English! yes, yes 😄) Google brings us closer. But you are really very interesting AND without blabbering, without mind-numbing music and without believing you are obliged to overrated excitement like we see so much on KZbin! So, thank you and good luck. 😇

[@perthomsen8708]

Just wanted to note that you can create a timelapse movie in the Interval Shooting menu as well. That gives you the flexibility of having a quick TL movie, but also gives you the shots to import into LRTimeLapse or other TL-creation tool.

[@ChrisCorkPhotography]

Where is the option to render?

[@davewynne6857]

@@ChrisCorkPhotography on the Z6/Z7II in the interval shooting part of the menu, just scan down. You set it the same way you do in Time-lapse mode. I would suggest saving the movie file on a separate card to where the RAW files are being saved. The main difference between Interval Mode and Time-lapse mode is instead of choosing the length of the time-lapse you choose the amount of shots. The camera then tells you when the process will end. The time-lapse movie is compiled in the camera the same way it is in the time-lapse mode and is ready to watch at the completion of the shoot

[@ShutterSpeak]

That's a whole different video 🙂

[@LeonKolenda]

This is confusing for me. I want to shoot a timelapse at 8K. There are too many limitations for the plain Time-Lapse Mode

[@rajkugadasan9862]

very clear explanation for beginners, thanks

[@paulaquipel7472]

Thanks so much for this. The interval priority is a little confusing. If I'm doing a dusk to night time lapse of a city from a distance would I want Interval priority on or off? Thjank you :)

[@ShutterSpeak]

Yes - it is a little confusing. The camera wants to know what is more important should a proper exposure become longer than the interval between photos. Should there be a proper exposure at the sake of intervals or a under exposed image shot at the proper interval? So if your interval is 5 seconds between shots, this would on apply if the camera need 6 seconds or more to properly expose the image.

[@cait3807]

That was a great explanation. Thanks

[@ShutterSpeak]

Glad it was helpful!

[@FrancescoBorsotti]

Thank you Joseph. What program on the Mac do you suggest to use for creating the movie out of the pics taken with the Interval Timer shooting?

[@ShutterSpeak]

Photoshop!

[@perthomsen8708]

@@ShutterSpeak @Francesco Borsotti The 800lb gorilla in the timelapse world is LRTimeLapse, a plugin to Lightroom. On the Mac, I use GlueMotion, which works pretty well, but has a lot less bells and whistles. It's produced by Needed Apps (www.neededapps.com)

[@corrbox2]

Thnaks for this instructional video Joe. It has been very helpful to me on shotting Time Lapse with my Z6II. Well done 📸👍👋🎉

[@ShutterSpeak]

Thank you - I am very glad it helped you out!

[@Wendy-cf5tv]

Thanks for going over this. Can we use movie mode for an astro time lapse movie (though it would be unedited)? I really appreciate your content.

[@ShutterSpeak]

Hello and thanks for watching. You certainly could although I would think interval shooting would produce a better end result.

[@Wendy-cf5tv]

@@ShutterSpeak 👍 Many thanks!

[@steve_aventura]

How do you actually start? Do you press ok when start selected in menu?

[@KevinConnell-xr6sy]

love it

[@grosema]

Thanks for the info ........... I have Z7II and the 70-200s and the Z2x tele so far and A lot of F/ primes

[@ShutterSpeak]

Thank you for watching and commenting. I hope it helped you out :-)

[@danwray5626]

Doesnt the Interval have to include the longest shutter speed? So if shutter speed is 10 seconds the interval will be 10 seconds plus time between shutter releases?

[@andreacarcangiu2927]

Thank you!!❤️🙏🏻

[@ShutterSpeak]

You're welcome!

[@57sapke]

Thanks for explanation, but what mode you use yourself. (P-mode, aperture, manual)

[@ShutterSpeak]

Great question... Best results would be Aperture Priority or Manual. You don't want the aperture to change during the creation of the time lapse ideally.

[@voederbietels]

Hi sir. in my z6 2 and z9 in timelaps movie the interval i cant set higher than 10 also the blue numbers dont change so i cant do video timelaps. i strugle for more than 2 monts but nothing helps . i can do normal vid and so on but timelaps is a drama and i love to do it i did it always on my olympus do you know wht is wrong ?

[@sh1209macro]

Great video, thanks.

[@ShutterSpeak]

Thank you for watching!

[@brynparrott7361]

Ok when using Nikon z6 ii with latest v1.5 firmware, time lapse is not available when camera mode P,A,S, M is selected. It’s only available when Auto mode is selected. I have complained to Nikon customer support about this limitation because it obviously limits the scope of exposure control by the owner.

[@MRBATTISTA1]

can I make a startrails as time-lapse ???

[@TB-hy3te]

Thanks!!!!!

[@ShutterSpeak]

No problem!

[@Iris421989]

there is a god. and he wanted us to know how to time lapse our nikons. so he sent nuzzo

[@ShutterSpeak]

OK - I am going to take that as a good thing :-)

[@xmanreturn]

One correction: the more interval time, the quickly things will appear to move, because there will be more time between frames.

[@ShutterSpeak]

Yes - good point - thank you for mentioning it.

[@ChrisCorkPhotography]

Auto iso is a deal breaker for Astro time lapse

[@iggybeauchance7406]

The Z-fc makes a . mp4 movie in time lapse mode...
