S&Q Time Lapse Video

[Richard A]

I didn’t want to resurrect an old thread so starting this one. Has anyone had any success with taking time lapse videos using S&Q mode? What settings are you using? I’m particularly interested in sunrise/sunset. I know the transition from dark to light or vice versa can be difficult. Just after some settings to start with if anyone has any experience.

After a bit more research it appears that S&Q mode, although very good for time lapses in consistent light, isn't really suitable for sunrises and sunsets. Do you know, Brownie, if it's possible to set a minimum shutter speed in ISO Auto mode? I thought it was but I can't find it now.

Thanks. I’ll have a look.

 

[Richard A]

Thanks again. I found it.

So, I don't know if anyone is interested but I just received one of these: Foolography Unleased. Five days from Berlin to here via Fedex which is pretty good. I bought it primarily to do timelapse videos from day to night because it can do automatic exposure ramping to your specific requirements. Might be very useful for others too, who don't like using the Sony apps. It's quite expensive though.
