SonomaBear Posted July 7, 2017 Share #1 Posted July 7, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just shot a one hour time lapse the old fashioned way: dSLR, wide angle, external interval timer dongle... all sorts of calculations... but decent results. I only shoot the Q as if it were a manual camera with phenomenal EVF... usually set my own aperture to dial in my depth, often manual focus -- never looked at the "Scene" function. Then I looked into the flippin book! Wow! Built in interval timer plus all sorts of treasures. I'm an old fashioned photographer who eschews the myriad of menus in all the fancy cameras, just give me a great sensor and great lenses -- I'll figure out the rest of the bits. Now, I'm reading the book again (out of date but Leica is not known for up-to-date manuals). Have fun everyone -- this Q keeps amazing me after well over a year and thousands of images!

SonomaBear Posted July 7, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted July 7, 2017 any photos? samples? Coming soon. Capturing is easier than the post processing. I am shooting JPEG instead of my usual RAW, import into LR, make minor corrections to one frame, copy those changes to the entire collection, export the collection, import into Premier to convert a time lapse collection into a video which I can adjust the frame rate to 30 fps. First attempt requires 16x slow down to keep viewer from getting dizzy... Hell, I'm an old fashioned stills guy who can barely spell video! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangoCharlie27 Posted July 9, 2017 Share #4 Posted July 9, 2017 The reason I like Leica is because they don't jam in tons and tons of options in their menus. I have a Sony which is nice but too many options. Choice is good....too much choice is frustrating! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesson learned: Just shoot a video then alter the timing in post production. Trying to import almost 2,000 images turned out to be easy by creating the interpolated fillers proved diasterous (although sort of psychedelic !
