I took the 1st time-lapse with my newish Canon G10 this morning. 924 images at 50 frames per second. Hernando Desoto bridge over the Mississippi River @ Memphis, TN.



720p HD 1280x720 (28.1mb file size)

VGA 640x480 (15.4mb file size)

web 352x288 (1.8mb file size)

thoughts, comments & suggestions?

How did you do this? I thought they dropped the timelapse feature on the G10 (was included with the G9)?

It is cool!

what was the time duration from first shot to last? looks like a half a day passed. Love the barge rolling through the frame. Nice steady smooth motion.

Wow, that's really cool. I like when the sun gets low and first hits the undersides of the clouds. Pretty nice location too.

Here's an assignment for you... "Night" :-)

So the G10 has this as a function? I had to plug my dumbass 40D into a laptop to get it to take shots at an interval >:-(

The download is fast. Only took me 30(?) sec or so for the 28MB file. Don't be such a lazy-arse, I'll sick Trey Lewous on you.

You could use the Canon TC-80. It works as a remote release and has a timer, counter, intervalometer etc. One of the best investments ever.

Canon dropped the built-in time-lapse feature on the the G10 that was on the G9, but the G10 has a shutter jack (unlike the G9) so I used my timemachine. The G9's feature was really lame any way as it combined images into a movie (640x480) so you never really had any control over frame rate, etc. I wanted a P&S over one of my Nikon DSLRs because editing a dust spot out of 750+ images is tiresome, and Nikon doesn't really make a decent P&S that shoots RAW (the new P6000 shoots a funky RAW, but it had not so good reviews).

It was 924 images @ at 4 second intervals, so it was a little over an hour, thirty minutes before and after sunrise.

what software did you use to combine the shots?

i have used qt pro but it's a bit crappy.

Also how did you work out the exposure? (how would you work it out for a sunrise?)
Really want to give this a go, have a remote with this feature but results so far have been a bit pants. And i'm scared of my shutter falling off, i meen you only get so many out of the shutter right?

Yours was fantastic!!

Lovely time lapse, btw!

I used QT pro, its limited but I haven't found anything better especially for $30.

Exposure was aperture priority with -.03 compensation using matrix (or whatever Canon calls it) metering.

Yea, you can really wear out a DSLR's shutter quite quickly, another reason for going with the G10. My D200 still looked brand new, but had over 150k cycles in just under a year when I sold it. I promised my wife I wouldn't wear out my D300 as fast;-)

Hyperfocal,

I have a few questions. I am working on a large scale project and will be looking to add Time Lapse Photos into the mix.
Will be using the Canon G10 as well.
I have purchased:
Aputure Timer Camera Remote Control Shutter Cable 1C for Canon EOS Rebel XT, XTi, XSi, XS, T1i, T2i, EOS 60D, 1000D, 550D, 500D, 450D, 400D, 350D, 300 Aputure Timer Camera Remote Control Shutter Cable 1C for Canon EOS Rebel XT, XTi, XSi, XS, T1i, T2i, EOS 60D, 1000D, 550D, 500D, 450D, 400D, 350D, 300

And am looking to do what you have done.
I was thinking 30 sec. between each shot.
But love the feel of the 4 sec duration you have.

I am hoping to do this from sun up to sun down.
How long is the battery life on a 4 sec. duration?
What size memory card will I need?
Will this camera do this operation for as long as I want or is there a cut off like the Nikon P500?

Thanks any other tricks would be appreciated.

50fps with a total of 924 frames....I'm not good at math but is this 18 seconds of actual time?

Are you saying you want to do a photo every 4 seconds? That's a TON if you're shooting all day, and really unnecessary unless you're aiming to have the motion be really slow, since you won't be able to see faster moving things in the video, anyway. I did one just to mess around, //farm5.static.flickr.com/4009/4458675115_8b9b1a0c4b_o.gif, which I think took a photo every 30 seconds. I've got one of a flower opening somewhere around here, which did the same thing, and the motion is pretty fluid.

I was thinking the same thing, a little over 18 seconds.
