4.3 Time Lapse Video
Time-lapse photography is a photographic technique in which the frequency at
which photo frames are captured (the frame rate) is much lower than the frequency
used to view the sequence. When played at normal speed, time appears to be
moving faster and thus “lapsing”. For example, an image of a scene may be
captured at 1 frame per second but then played back at 30 frames per second; the
result is an apparent 30 times speed increase. This mode will capture a sequence of
frames at a set interval to record changes that take place slowly over time. When the
frames are shown at normal speed, the action seems much faster.
This setting is the interval in which the camera will capture photos for the time-lapse
based on a default 30 frames per second. For example, a setting of “5 seconds” will
capture 150 images (5 seconds multiplied by 30 frames per second).
The length of time you record a Time-Lapse video will determine the final real
compressed file length. For example, if you record a video for 10 minutes and stop,
the camera will play it back in a compressed time of 4 seconds long.
The calculation to determine the final playback length is:
Duration (in seconds) / (Interval * 30 frames per second)
Using a Time-Lapse setting of “5 seconds” and a recording duration of 10 minutes,
the calculation to determine the final compressed playback length is:
10 minutes / (5 seconds * 30 frames per second) =
600 seconds / 150 = 4 seconds
