I forgot to mention. Great video. I have been a little overwhelmed by this camera. Initially I thought, what have I done in purchasing probably the most sophisticated camera to date. Slowly I'm getting to grips with it and now I realise that the only real restraints I'll have with this camera is my imagination. Will checkout your other videos.

Thank you, Jamie. You helped me do my very first time lapse and now I am ready to do more.

Thanks I don't have a KZread channel. (I am an old lady that no one wants to see.) I have been doing only still photography with the em10 but I decided it was time to learn more about what the camera can do. I was always fascinated with time lapse but didn't think it would be so simple. I made two short videos on the first day. One indoors and one at dusk outdoors. I am anxious to try a dusk-to-nighttime time lapse video. What settings would you suggest for that? You really helped me a lot with this camera, which I have loved since the day I got it back in 2014. I am probably going to add the Em1 Mii or maybe wait for the 10 miii. Thanks again for your help!!

Thanx dude!! A no nonsense tutorial :)

Thnx Jamie you just saved me a whole lot of time! Excellent video and looking forward watching more :-)

Really like your video. Just bought my Olympus OMD E 5 and love it. Will try this in a few days. Looks like fun!

Thanks again, Jamie.

Jamie - - well done and thank you, but Olympus moved it just to see if we are paying attention. It is now in: Menu Shooting Menu 1 Scroll down to the bottom item (I don't know what it is called) Arrow Right then Arrow Down to Time Lapse Settings Scroll down to "On" (and very important) Arrow Right (not "OK") This gives you the set up menu for Time Lapse Settings ie Frame, Start Time Waiting, etc, etc, etc.

Thanks Clive drove me nuts my display was different also

Hey Jamie, What's your experience with regards to battery life? I am going to be shooting some timelapse and live composite scenes over the weekend and was curious how long I might be able to shoot before my E-M5 MKII with HLD grip may die? I'm assuming if you lose power during a timelapse or live composite scene, nothing will be saved to the card? Also, do you know the output file format a timelapse is saved to? And the resolution? Can I assume it's only 720p? Thank you :)

Hi Jamie can you use an external intervalometer so youcan use the HDR for timelpase and capture more than 999 shote - and what is the battery limit on shots?

Thank you for the valuable information 😀 , what is the best setting for plants or seed to harvest shooting, and also how to do a long-term time lapse without stopping to change batteries , i mean can you plug the camera to a power source , thank you again

Sweet!

Thank you

Vengels, I will try to get one of those up. It would be done best at night and I haven't been able to get out at night to shoot lately...Soon though!

Thanks for the video Jamie. Does the camera keep the RAW files of the shots after a time lapse?

Jamie, sorry I didn't ask you this earlier, but do you know if you can use an external DC battery pack (like the kind you can use to recharge a cell phone or a computer) with the Em1 besides the AC adapter? Thanks again.

Conrad, I don't have the 12-40mm yet, but will be getting it sometime soon I think, I'll for sure be doing some review of it when I do. As for Pano videos are you wanting to see some sort of tutorial on shooting them?

Well really would love a tutorial on just the menu itself, and maybe how it differs (if at all) from the previous cameras

Could you please tell me the complete settings please and what mode you are in

can you use individual frames of the time lapse composition?

great video, I'm new to this camera primarily will use for underwater photo/videography. My question is I just bought mine 8/11/16 and do not have an option for time lapse, do you know if Olympus took it out of their firmware?

No sir it is still there!! Since this video was made the timelapse fucntion has moved to a new spot in the menu system. To find it go to MENU, Camera Menu 1, Last selection on that screen and hit OK. In that sub menu you will find Time Lapse Settings. Hope that helps!! And thanks for watching!

I did find it after all yesterday, thanks.

hello and thank you for the tutorial. I just managed to shoot but when it's done nothing happens, ie the frames do not get processed into a movie, and then I've just got dozens of pix. What is happening? What am I doing wrong?

Great. I have an E-M1 preordered. Can't wait for it to arrive. By the way are you able to show how Live Time function works?

how about some panorama videos, and/or opinion of the pro lens if you have it

Farouk, If the 3rd party lens was designed for the µ4/3 system then yes. Example would be the Panasonic lenses. As far as testing with a Speedbooster I'd need to get a loaner from them to test. And I don't think they are even out yet are they?

Sorry for the lack of responses to some of your questions! My day job has been getting in the way of doing videos and responding :( Will try to catch up this week!

Thanks heaps for the video! E-M1 specs say that its "Battery life for up to 350 images". Here is my question: with the E-M1 battery's low capacity, how do you calculate the time lapse duration before the battery completely drains down? Is it also possible to turn live view off in order to save battery power? Cheers!

hi Jamie you know away to turn your back display off as to save battery power as i have done a few time lapses only to have bat failure what am i doing wrong? cheers Brent

On my Mk1 it’s at the bottom of shooting menu 1 after single/multiple shot and delay

Old prosumer 570uz provide timelapse and accept old 5V Jack. Can we have such good thing again?

this is a great question. is there an ac power option? Otherwise I don't see how you would ever get to 999 shots particularly if they were say a minute apart or some long period of time.

Informative videos Jamie. I appreciate it. Do have any idea why the "time lapse" is no longer on my Shooting Menu 2? I utilized it a few months back, and now it is not available to select. I have reset to basic controls, still to no avail. Must be simple, but i have scoured my menus and i cannot figure it out. Thanks ahead of time.

Hey Jamie. Does it have Panorama feature where it automatically stitch the multiple photos into one in-camera? Also do you know if the Wifi works with Android and Window phone also or just iOS?

Nvm for some reason mine had it on shooting menu 1 and in the multi shot/timedelay/time lapse option < just figured out that symbol is timelapse for me its weird because j thought 4.1 was the newest but its different. Thanks for the vid good sir.

Hi Jamie Probably a little too late/or early to ask a question, but I have got a hankering to upgrade from my EPL 5, my first thought was go for the top banana, the EM 1, but whilst I'm busy saving my $$ the EM5 MK 11 has come along, so now I'm ??..the specific question is (if you know the answer) does the new unit have the same feature/ re timelapse, or similar ??

I was referring to nikon lenses with adapter there are many people including me using both systems and since they are now supporting autofocus for FT lenses I was hoping they support nikon and canon lenses. Anyway it sounds like another OMD winner I think I am going to pick one up too :). you can get the speedbooster at borrowlenses now.

Is each shot counted in the overall shutter count?

did a firmware update to 4.3 for boby but my menu where you are does not show a time lapse setting as yours does? I have the Om-D E-M1 Jamie here is what mine shows in menu 2 Bracketing off HDR off Keystine Comp. off Multiple Exposure off Anti-Shock () /silent() Rc Mode off

Thanks this is helpful, but I'm wondering why my OMD EM1 Mark 1 with current firmware version 4.6 doesn't have these time lapse features? the menus are different and it only shows three options that don't do anything and stop after about 25 shots. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

If you go to Shooting Menu 1 down the bottom are 3 symbols ( below Digital Tele-Converter). It's there. Open that and you should see "time lapse settings" You need to put in your settings.

Bashful, There is one :) It will start out at the number you selected for your timelapse and then count down backwards.

The timelapse feature is exactly the same as the nikon d600 very cool I like it. Can you autofocus with a third party lens? That could be a video idea, test 3rd party lenses with adapter or even a speedbooster from metabone, I would love to see the image quality. Thanks for your videos great work!

I'm not aware of A Nikon or Canon autofocus lens working on any µ4/3 bodies. Can you point me to a link with some information on it? It's news to me. :)

When you're card stated it was full after time lapse, I'm wondering how large of ssd card will I need?

@JamieMacDonald

4 жыл бұрын

It's definitely going to depend on the length of your time lapse of course. One trick might be to set your camera to shoot jpegs and either normal or large fine format. That will give you a lot more space. And this I think if I remember correctly I was shooting raw plus JPEG therefore filling up my card faster. A 32 GB card will give you an extremely long time lapse... hours.

Why is my menu different on my omd-em1? stage 2 of the menu setting has none of what you have?

@ovidius8229

3 жыл бұрын

You have a newer firmware on the camera.

When specs say "350 images" they don't say what kind of images. I would assume that specifications are averaging. So, if timelapse can be set to use smaller and lower quality jpgs, then, with a Battery grip you can get about 999 :o). Sorry, if I got something wrong. It would be great if Jamie could bring some clarity into the subject.

is there a counter for the number of shots taken?

Jamie. Could you cover a short video on how to download and process the time-lapse video using Lightroom?

@JamieMacDonald

I honestly never use Lightroom for any sort of video work. But you CAN choose to have your camera create the timelapse movie in the camera so there is no need to do anything in Lightroom. Unless of course you are trying to color correct or something like that.

I have the camera and I don't have the knowledge. Thanks Bro. Salam Alikoum

I did it , but it wont combine the photos. IT will make a video or separate files .. I thought it was suppose to do that on its own. I love those photos showing the sky as moving.

Jamie, Is it possible to connect an external power source to this camera to do long time lapse shooting? The camera is rated at only 350 shots which will produce a rather short time lapse video, yet the built in intervalometer allows 999 frames. So how can we get the full 999 with the battery life ending at 350 shots? Thanks.

@JamieMacDonald

Hey Ron thanks for stopping in.To answer your question you CAN use an AC power source to run the camera. You need to have the battery grip though to do this as the connection for the AC-1 power adapter is in the battery grip. With a single battery though in my E-M1 I can get around 475 shots with my camera set to no preview and playback, IS turned off, and a couple other settings. So a realistic timelapse of 450 shots is possible from a single battery.

Gavin Haberfield I know Olympus doesn't make an external DC pack for it but there may be 3rd party options available. Or I know a DIY project to make one is probably not too awfully hard if you are sufficiently motivated. I would buy the AC power pack, but then use the connector cable from that to use in your own DC pack.

Gavin Haberfield And as far as external intervalomters go yes...I use the Triggertrap some times to do some bulb ramped time lapses..

"format card when beginning a shoot" What if one someone neglected to download images? Best to format after downloading, removing all doubt What about movie settings?

i believe you can stop it in the middle when you've gotten all the shots you've needed

I do not know if they work that's why I was proposing to test since you have the camera, I don't think it will work anyway I was just being hopeful.
