Awesome tutorial!! Thank you so much! I want to shoot an Aurora Timelapse with my Canon R7 and can’t wait to try this out! Your tutorial was so clear and easy to follow.

Whew this came in handy while on location shooting northern lights. The result admittedly would have been better had i planned it, but still happy that i filmed it for the first time

@@ScooterMediaVideos Me too haha! Every time I've "seen" it it's been with a camera. It's usually too faint to see with the naked eye unfortunately. Yesterday I was only able to distinguish it from the sky a couple of times because it was so dim.

This is an excellent video. Thank you for doing it.

Great video, thank you. It is a very cool feature. I had missed that the interface helps you with the math on shooting/playback time so got stuck with math, so won't do that again. And thanks for the tip on exposure as well as editing suggestions. One thing from my experience: Even if you don’t enable auto screen off, it does shut off after 30 minutes of recording. It confused me a bit when I tried an all-day time lapse; I thought I had hit a recording limit (even knowing that the R7 does not have one) so kept restarting. Turns out all you have to do is press the Info button and the screen display comes back on. Handy for those (like me) who want a little visual affirmation.

Thank you! I did one last time-lapse yesterday to capture the snow fall accumulating and left the screen option on and when I came back to check on it, it was turned off...you are correct that at some point it does shut off after a while. I could still hear the little beeps though so I knew it was still doing its thing!

Only just purchased the Canon R7 primarily for Bird Photography but will now definitely try out Time Lapse as option all within the camera rather than having other software. All looks very easy...thanks for the comprehensive explanations.

Thanks for doing the great video. I am considering adding a R7 to my lineup. Question, once you start the timelapse shooting, can you change the duration (ie make it a bit longer), or are you stuck with the original setting(s)?

Hi. Great video. What about the focus settings?

@ScooterMediaVideos

10 ай бұрын

Thanks! I personally just use the default autofocus settings and just change the speed of the focusing if I want it faster or slower.

Fantastic tutorial! I wonder what happens if both raw and jpg files are saved. Does the the camera use only jpg files to build the video?

@ScooterMediaVideos

Thanks! This is the time-lapse in video mode. You can shoot a time-lapse with raw and/or jpeg files in photo mode but you then need to put all of the photos together yourself to create the time-lapse. In video mode the camera puts it all together for you but the only option is 4K vs HD.

The way I have been doing it. I just set up my R6 on a tripod with a scene and start the video recording. Then in my photo editing, I have a way to speed up the video and it looks amazing and much smoother than your way. But thx

Im planning on shooting the eclipse with the r7. It's most likely going to be around 4-5 hours of timelapse. Should i be worrying about the battery running out? And what would you recommend i use for the exposure? Thanks!

You should be worried about ruining your camera! I wouldn’t recommend shooting the eclipse without using a special-purpose solar filter or otherwise there’s a good chance you will wreck your camera.

@@MaximKapytka that’s good to hear!! I have not shot a Timelapse for that long so I’m not sure how long the battery will last and I have also never shot an eclipse, so not sure about exposure…however this is really popular right now so there should be lots of info online about it. Best of luck!

I have to create a time lapse of 2,5 day. I am wondering how big would be the file and if I stop it, how long it takes the camera to process. What do you think?

If i shoot manual mode, should I put my ISO on auto to keep same exposure when lighting changes?

@ScooterMediaVideos

There is a setting within the time-lapse movie settings that’s called Auto exposure and you can set it to fixed 1st frame and the exposure will stay the same as the first frame or you can choose each frame and the exposure will change with each frame.

The interval between each frame won't effekt the playing time of the output video, only the time it takes to record?

@ScooterMediaVideos

Yes, that's correct...you are taking the same amount of photos, just longer intervals between so the output video playing time doesn't change.

I feel I have set my r7 correctly but when I open the card there are only three shots there. No video. What am I missing. It takes all the shots but I see 3 jpg. Does it take time for the video to render

Are you sure the camera is in video mode and you are using the movie Timelapse feature? The video does not take time to render, as soon as the Timelapse is done you should be able to view it on the camera.

Did you use an ND filter?
