moonpeep Online • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · really dumb question: d800 (or other nikon) timelapse mode This indeed causes a shutter actuation, correct? I understand you're not able to access the files that are used to create the movie file... so it made me wonder exactly how this was behaving. I had always just assumed it was indeed a bunch of shutter clicks put together to form the timelapse clip. (note: had searched for more info on the web... wasn't finding a detailed explanation... which again made me assume the obvious, just wanted verification from owners here) Oct 03, 2012 at 11:43 PM

krickett Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · really dumb question: d800 (or other nikon) timelapse mode I think you misunderstand timelapse. The camera has an intervalometer which lets you take picture at prescribed time intervals (for example... 600 pictures at 1 pictures per 5 seconds). It generates pictures files. It does not automatically make timelapse clips (you take the images to software to do that). Unless......... this was a feature I wasn't informed of? Oct 04, 2012 at 07:46 AM

The D600 will allow you to see your time-lapse as a 24fps movie in camera. I'm not sure if you can save it that way, I haven't tried it yet. Oct 04, 2012 at 09:42 AM

It's a nice, easy to use feature (if you don't need full res files) that's about as automatic as you can get. Not sure about shutter actuations tho. Oct 04, 2012 at 02:55 PM

The latest Nikon cameras offer both options... you can use the intervalometer to shoot a sequence of full-resolution NEF or JPG files and then process the files and assemble them into a timelapse sequence using the software of your choice (I like the LRTimelapse plugin for LightRoom), or you can use the camera's built-in timelape feature to shoot lower-resolution video in-camera, using the JPG picture control settings. The drawbacks to using the built-in timelapse feature are the lower resolution and inability to access or process the files, but it takes up a lot less memory than shooting full-res files.
