Timelapse Planning Guide

The key to a smooth timelapse is choosing the right interval. Shorter intervals (1-3s) are best for fast-moving subjects like clouds, while longer intervals work for slow changes.

Storage tip: Shooting RAW gives more editing flexibility but requires significantly more storage. A 30-second timelapse at 30fps needs 900 frames.
