Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh
Today we’re showing you how to capture such a gripping Time-lapse
Time-lapse is difficult to grasp
It was achieved with older cameras by capturing multiple photos
then using specialised programmes such as After Effects, LRTimelapse
and other exclusive programmes
It’s easy to make if your camera supports the feature
Nowadays, recent innovative Cameras from Canon
include the Time-lapse feature automatically giving you the video version
just like in their latest Canon EOS R5 camera within which you can reach up to 8K time-lapse videos
Not 1080, no 4K, but 8K videos
You can crop the shot, zoom in on it
and use the motion time-lapse feature to zoom in, out and look around the scenery
thanks to the large number of pixels present which enable your easy montage edits
Of course, there are many ways to achieve your video
Today we’re looking at the best way to get quality results
Other than the problems with flickering lights while using time-lapse
There are a few aspects to keep in mind while shooting
and other variables available in the camera settings
Fortunately, the Canon EOS R5 contains some of the features that can achieve the best possible results in a time-lapse video
But you have to pay attention to the following instructions
most important to achieve time-lapses from sunrise to sunset
That is why we invite you to focus on the proper settings adjustments we are sharing
First, turn off any feature related to Focus
If your lens has AutoFocus, shift it to Manual Focus (MF)
Second, turn off your Image Stabilizer if available
Because the camera is placed on a tripod
you won’t need the Image Stabilizer and hence cause no problems
Thirdly, shutoff anything related to exposure and lighting
For example, the white balance preset should be adjusted to Incandescent, Daylight or Cloudy
depending on the ambience and lighting at hand
Go to these settings and set your camera to landscape mode for example or anything else
Fourth, turn off all these exposure settings
This limits your camera from changing light sensibility between takes
After you’ve completed these steps, make sure all exposure and light related settings are off
You go to setting number 5
Choose Time-lapse Movie
Make sure it’s on Enable
Then you set the Interval, which is the number of seconds in-between takes
This depends on what you are shooting
For example when it comes to Action Photography, it’s best to use close timeframes
In this moving car shot, I’ll choose 2 for example
then go to number of shots
Meaning the amount of time spent in this exact spot so that the camera covers the total time
For example, the day is going from daylight to dark for me now, so I want it to cover one hour and a half
So I’ll choose the number that I see fit
And the camera gives me how long it will keep recording
On the right side, you can see the recording duration
We pick 1500 or 1600
Then choose the Movie Recording Size
As we mentioned the R5 can shoot up to 8K videos
After that I have the Magic choice
which is important to activate
to avoid issues with flickering and light changing
Enter Auto-Exposure
Choose each frame
There are two other options available
Activating Screen Auto
Which deactivates your screen while shooting for prolonged battery life
Then you go to settings number 2
ISO speed settings
Which might vary from one camera to another, but this is the only camera that has this feature
Go to MAX for Auto
The idea here is to set the ISO as the camera’s sensitivity to light
Limiting it to a specific level
Choose either 800, 1600 or 3200
depending on whether your scene is exposed to light or not
and based on an estimation of your surroundings
I’m going to choose 1600 because I know this camera doesn’t cause any huge problems
Last step is to go to video settings and make sure M mode is not chosen
It is crucial in this case to refrain from using M
And instead choose AV
I choose AV
But I didn’t tell you what the idea behind it is
It’s to set a fitting Aperture for the camera to set the correct Shutter Speed
Meaning your camera will set the right shutter speed for each take
You might start off with 1/30 or 1/40 then proceed to 1/50
Until the sun has set, the camera will shift your camera's shutter speed
At the same time, changing the ISO
Both the ISO and Shutter Speed are now automatically set
We still have the Aperture
Your shot depends on what you see. We chose 7 6 8 for example,
And now with your new camera you will get the quality images as seen here
These features’ settings are easy to achieve
If you have an upcoming shoot, adjust your settings and you will get unexpected results
I hope you guys benefitted and received the information I shared correctly and properly
I’m waiting for your talented takes
