    Hello Mike. Thanks so much for this amazing tutorial. This makes it so much easier compared to what we needed before to do time lapse. I just created my first time lapse and I’m very happy with the result, however to go for the best quality you need some serious processing power. Thanks again and all the best to you!

    Hi Reiner, Great to hear it has helped. You're right...I normally edit the photos for a timelapse and then leave my computer alone whilst it process them...and come back a few hours later...it is definitely a longer workflow than just shooting video or stills that's for sure.

    Hi Mike, I’ve just shot my first day to night timelapse using your exact methods and it worked like a dream, I didn’t detect any flickers at all. No need for LR Timelapse any more. I didn’t have my tripod with me but set it up on a gimble and, of course, there was slight movement in the framing of each photo. I’ve tried to stabilise in Davinci Resolve without much success. I’ll definitely use a tripod next time. The timelapse was shot in Brisbane Australia so the sun sets pretty quickly here. Thanks again for all the hard work you put into your videos to make them informative, interesting and entertaining too.

    That's great to har Bill! It is amazing that even when gimbals have been calibrated, the amount of drift you get over time. That has happened with all of the gimbals I have owned over the years. Great to hear you got something useable from it though. I've often thought of trying to get some astrophotography pics from a moving boat with the use of a gimbal ... maybe one day when I get my super-yacht!! 😆😆 Thanks for your kind words and thanks for watching 😁👍

    Super post, Mike! Lots to absorb. Haven’t tried timelapse yet, but will retain this vid and make a cheat sheet from it for reference. Good illustration of Photopills real life use. Array of settings seems ripe for assigning to one of the memory mode dials. Involving your viewers via their downloads is a wonderful addition.

    Thanks so much Paul...Photopills is by far my favourite photo app, although I'm trying planit pro and the photographers ephemeris at the mo to see if there's anything better out there...might even make a comparison video on those three as well! 😁 If you're doing it a lot it would definitely be worth assigning a memory mode position for it. I was thinking it would be great to get a whole load of time lapses from around the world...it'll be interesting to see the different ones everyone sends in...I just hope my dropbox account can handle it all!! 😁👍

After several frustrating failed attempts to capture a day-to-night Holy Grail Timelapse using a buggy German dongle, my search led me back to this channel and video. First time out, flawless capture! Thank you very much. Not sure if you are still collecting data as mentioned in the video, but I am happy to share my info/files if you are! My TL was shot in the middle of San Francisco Bay from Alcatraz Island National Park. Thanks again!

    Thanks for the video Mike. What I'm looking for in a timelapse, if it shows the sky, is the movement of the clouds that ads interest to the shoot. I like the 3 sec interval. Oh by the way, it's great that clouds appear in your timelapse made here in UAE.

    Thanks Mike, a few years old but still an excellent and relevant video. I did some more experimenting and testing on this feature in various modes for others that may have my questions. I shoot a lot of sunset into astro timelapse which requires a huge change in exposure to Speed, Aperture and ISO. I start at usual daylight settings of say 1/125th, F8, ISO100 but by night time 2 hrs later I need 8.0 secs, F1.2 and ISO3200. The problem is almost every mode locks the Aperture at whatever you start with therefore as it gets darker you can never get enough light because your aperture is locked at F8 or whatever you started with. This equals dismal failure - EXCEPT? EXCEPT when you use Speed (S) Mode. In S mode you set the shutter speed to whatever works during daylight and as it gets darker, the aperture becomes wider and wider until the limit of your lens is reached. Then start increasing your shutter speed during the shoot bit by bit until you get to your 8 or 10 secs that you need in the dark. If your ISO is set to Auto, it then starts increasing the ISO as it gets darker. If you had your ISO locked in at say 100 originally, then you can increase the ISO during the shoot until you get to about 3200. Once you get to around 8 or 10 secs with your ISO at around 3200 (either auto ISO or manually), then you can walk away and enjoy a warm coffee in the dark while it does the rest. It works extremely well with little to no flicker. You can also choose whether you want a constant shoot interval, say 10 secs, right from the start and just adjust shutter speed as you go OR let the shutter speed override the interval as you go. This just results in different time effects during playback and is a personal choice. Be aware that Shoot interval priority is locked in the default off setting so your selected shutter speed will always override your Shooting interval.

    @@mikesphotography No Worries Mike, happy to help out as it is difficult to find detailed info about this feature. Everyone says you can do it and then just repeats the info in the Sony manual. Your video is the only one I could find that gave a really good explanation of HOW to use it in real life so thanks for that. All this was done using the internal Sony Interval Shooting Function. No external intervalometers at all. I do have and use Edelkrone heads and sliders which will be my next experiment but everything mentioned is with the camera only. Yes I still use LR timelapse pro for all my timelapse work but my tests indicated that while using the auto ISO, it get a little flicker but LRT was easily able to reduce it to virtually nothing. The flicker is caused by the occasional change in ISO between a few images when it is on the cusp of needing to change. It might be at ISO 200 and then one image will be at ISO250 then the next back to 200. You might get this jumping of ISO for say 3 in 10 images until it darkens enough to lock it at 250 until the next auto change. While the luminance value barely changes it is enough to just cause a little flicker. When I used a set ISO of 100 and then increased it manually as needed (once the aperture had opened completely and I had extended the speed out to 10sec), I ended up with no flicker at all and LRT didn't really have to do anything. The down side of changing the ISO manually is towards the end I had an interval of 11secs with a shutter speed of 10secs. Therefore the shutter is open and the screen is blank for 10 seconds. When you open the ISO window and change it, you can't see anything because the screen is blank taking the photo. It will change the ISO successfully between shots but you really need to know how to do that by feel and have a deep understanding of which buttons and how many turns to change it to your desired setting because it is all done blind. There is now only a 1 second window between shots to confirm your changes. This is also not great while the shutter is open as you can introduce image blur because you are shaking it when changing the settings. I tried using the Sony Imaging Edge Mobile app to control the camera during this so I wouldn't have to touch it and make all changes remotely from the app but the moment you invoke the Intvl Shooting Func, it kicks the app off line and won't have a bar of it. Pity because it would make the perfect solution. So the best result was using manual ISO but it is challenging. Auto ISO still gave an excellent result after I ran it through LRTimelapse. Results can be viewed at kzread.info/dron/_WA_CFINHy24j679Wno_8w.html Sorry for the long reply.

    Thank you so much for sharing this setting technique. On AV mode, the camera will automatically adjust ISO + Shutter speed in associated with the light changing. However, we have to decide what "F value" we would go for? Does is matter to push the brightest aperture as we are shooting from Day to Night? and How about shooting from Night to Dawn and welcoming the Sun rise? What F value you might suggest?

    Well, the day to night timelapse wasn't that great, but I went out very early last week to shoot a sunrise. But there is a lot of flickering, don't have a program like 'LRtimelapse' yet (but then again, I use On1 and not Lightroom). But afterwards I noticed I had the dial put on P and not A, so maybe that explains some flickering as well. Here's a link if you're interested.

With video recording, I prefer to have it in manual mode and then change the settings either with a variable ND or aperture or iso. You could set it to shutter priority, but sometimes the camera will change the exposure in steps which is really obvious in your footage when it does. I hope that helps. 😁👍

The difference between the interval priority on/off. i would love to see a graph with 2 curves : Shutter speed and ISO. On horizontal of the graph would be the light value decreasing and in vertical the value of the ISO and the shutter speed (as the focal stay constant there is no need to show it).
