Time Lapse Photography using a Nikon D5600 or Similar Camera
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 бер 2018
- If you have a camera with built-in time lapse capabilities and want to learn more, this video is for you!:) I demonstrate various considerations using a Nikon D5600 but similar concepts apply to any camera with built-in time lapse.
Apple offers time lapse on various devices but removed configuration options which limits overall creativity. I may create a follow-up video demonstrating time lapse on an iPhone, iPod, etc.

You're fantastic. Thank you. Superbly done. Very informative, concise and understandable.
Great video. Never really thought about life expectancy of the shutter, thank you for that important tip. I shoot timelapse with a GoPro, which works great, but I'm looking to expand on options
Dude the one with the painting was amazing! Thank you for your creativity.
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) Watching the painting come to life is very cool:).

Thanks for the post and will do!:)
Great video, very informative, Thanks!!!
Thanks for the feedback and glad to be of help!:)
Great video, easy to follow. Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback David and glad to be of help!:)
Tremendous video, as usual. Big thanks for pointing out the approximate shutter life and how extensive use of time lapse would reduce effective life.
Glad to be of help!:)
Nice Video, Thank you, Very Helpful
Very nicely made video and explained in all details. I would like to watch more of your videos. Great.
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:)
Very nice presentation.
I'm addicted to timelapse photography.
Lots of cool things can be achieved with time lapse:).
Thank you for valuable information..
Thanks for doing that man. I've the same camera, and love it. Haven't experimented with time lapse yet, but now I will. Always an inspiration to try stuff. That's why I like your channel. Although I'm concerned about the number of shots time lapse uses on my camera 😱 but can't wait to try it 😎
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) Don't be too concerned about the shutter count as I have yet to experience shutter failure:). Nonetheless, just something to note:).
Don't be concerned about it!!! That's the reason you bought the camera for. Besides shutter replaces are relatively cheap in comparison to camera gear. So, enjoy the camera and use it!!! By the time your shutter dies you've already taken tons of timelapses
I just to thank you by the your nice time lapse photography tips. I am from Brasil, Minas Gerais State and Governador Valadares City. Ithank you ever so much again.
Thanks for the post and glad to be of help from the United States!:)
Thank you. New sub. I just recently bought this camera. It's pretty neat! I'll be using it for short film and music videos & ofc, photography
Thanks for the post and welcome to the channel!:)
I really like your videos. You are doing a commendable job, sir. You make the toughest stuff simpler and enjoyable. I like the way you make notes and try to stick to the topic and cover all aspects. I am so motivated by you. I would love to see more videos on photography basics. Thank you for helping the newbies to the photography world.
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) Welcome to the channel and stay tuned as I have more videos on the way:).
harshita rao I second this!!
Thaks buddy, its help a lot to me
This is really Great video, you deserve a million subscriber. Sir
Thank you for the tutorial video..
Great tutorial
Muy buen video !
Very well explained. Thanks you so much buddy :) Love from India :)
thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:)
I bought some gear recently, and the seller threw in a Nikon D5600 for free. I was going to sell it until I saw this video...now I can't wait to try a time lapse shot!
Thank you for all your great instructional vids. You've really helped me a lot. Also... I've never ever ever said these words before... this will be the first time. I love the music that you have in the beginning of the vid. Very bluesy. The other music that's spread throughout is unnecessary but thankfully not as distracting as some music that people add to their vids.
Anyway, thanks for the instructions, it's much appreciated. :)
LOL - thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help/inspiration!:)
Best teeth in the photography game hands down
First comment. Btw I love your channel. You are my inspiration to become a 13 year old hobby photographer with my Nikon d3400
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) Stay with it and let your creativity soar!:)
I have the d3400. Love it
Nice Tutorial. I just bought a D5600. Thanks
Glad to be of help and welcome to the world of photography!:) The D5600 is a nice/solid camera in my opinion.
Thank you so mucho !!!!!! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I storm chase and I use a d7500 but a 3x5 laminated checklist of your T.L. settings would be helpful when working fast under pressure
Very nice video...n nice painting by Artist
thanks for the post/feedback!:)
Sir Plz Explain White Balance Handling Some Day... God bless U
Good idea - I will consider adding this to my list of topics - ty and God bless!:)
thanks a lot!!!
Thanks, Sir...
Thank you very much for your informative guidance! I have two questions as a newbie. You say it could take around 3k to 4k shots as one-shot-per-second timelapse for a duration of 90 mins. The battery of this camera is rated at around 960 shots per charge. So how do we keep up with the battery in between without interrupting the timelapse operation? And if we get up to the limit of the shutter (i.e 150,000), is there any way to change the shutter or the camera is over? Thanks for your time, sir.
Good video well explained chap thanks for the info. I was a bit shocked that 150,000 images is all the manual shutter will put out I was hoping to use this camera for doing time lapse photography. Iv always used a gopro hero 4 black for time lapse in the past
Thanks for the feedback:). 150k may not seem like much depending on various needs, but it really is a bunch:). I have used various cameras over the years and have yet to hit the number on any one camera (and I have shot a bunch:)). If you shot time a bunch of time lapse exclusively for a long period of time, I suspect you might get there. Keep in mind this is a general number/rating as well - any camera could go well past it:).
Thank you for this video 👍
Glad to be of help!:)
RealWorld when did you start having interest in photography?
Many years ago:). I started taking wedding photos in college to help pay bills:).
Hello. Thank you so much for doing these D5600 videos. This is my first dslr. I’m so excited to learn everything I can about it. I’m having a hard time finding a battery grip though. I know Nikon didn’t make one specifically for this model. Any suggestions? Thanks and keep up the great work!!
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) Battery grips are great for vertical shots and better grip, etc. One suggestion is the Neewer grip which can be found here - amzn.to/2Q9Nkpp ... a good/solid price as well:).
RealWorld Thanks so much!
this camera is also the one i want 😊
Thanks for describing in details....

Thanks :)
Great
Hey, I like your channel so much, there is just the stuff that you need! Could you please make a video on how to photograph the milky way with nikon d3400?
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) I just returned from a trip to WV and capture a handful of astro shots (although not the milky way) - I plan to create a video in the week on how to shoot stars which should be of some help ... stay tuned:).
RealWorld Thanks !
yeah i have d7100 and do lots of timelapse with it as well. good tool!
Great camera (D7100):)
Is 7100 enough or should i really get a 7200 ?
Both are solid. In addition, they share the same size sensor and resolution. The big difference between the two is max ISO capabilities. The max ISO on the D7100 is 6400 whereas the D7200 is 25600. The higher ISO is good for low light situations. Outside of the ISO both are similar with a few other minor exceptions.
thank you so much, I really appreciate it.
Hello,
I love your videos!
They are very detailed oriented.
I NEED YOUR HELP!
I bought this particular camera-model, and I love it for photography. Still, I’ve been struggling to get decent videos from it. Can you please, suggest to me (us) an adequate setting for video?
In particular, I’m interested in setting for vlogging. Every time I try to vlog using my camera, the footage is useless. Sometimes, the image is out of focus. Sometimes, the camera is hunting for focus all the time. In both cases, the image useless.
Thanks for the post/feedback/question!:) Nikon has been historically challenged when shooting video, however they introduced the AF-P lens which I believe is included with the D5600 kit (check your lens - if you have an AF-S, you have the older version and auto focus will struggle in video). I found AF-P to work well overall. Nonetheless, check your focus mode as well and consider using AF-C ( continuous focus - imaging.nikon.com/support/digitutor/d5600/functions/focusmode_finder.html ). Also, ensure you are using 3D tracking for AF area mode ( imaging.nikon.com/support/digitutor/d5600/functions/afareamode_finder.html ). Hope this helps to some extent!:)
Is it possible to process and view the time lapse video built in by DSLR d5600 in the camera only?
Or it my need an editing software for the final video?
yes, the camera will render the time lapse which is nice and will allow you to view it back in camera:).
Well-thought final comment on life expectancy of the shutter. I'm thinking of doing some stacking for astrophoto, and I had the same thought, as some guys recommend stacking hundreds of photos at a time...
Thanks for the post/feedback:). I am not certain about staking hundreds of photos but a small handful should be good:).
Thank you. Newbies in d5600 and still dont know how to use it properly.
glad to be of help and enjoy the ride!:)
Hello, i would like to know how to do Day to Night time lapse, like how do you change the settings when the environment you're shooting at is getting darker. Thanks in advance
this might make for a good future video:). you could shoot in manual, but i might suggest aperture priority set to something relatively wide/open like 4.5, ISO of 100, interval of 10-20 seconds (you can play with this as needed), a good tripod, and let the camera do the rest:). The camera will control the shutter speed and adjust as needed to maintain a proper exposure. aperture priority works great if you have a clear sky but may flicker a bit if you have lots of clouds and/or varying light pollution. hope this helps!:)
What lens do you recommend for time lapse? On the Nikon D5600 of course.
This will really depend on the effect you want to achieve:). If you want smooth motion, you should try to capture more frequent shots. I have taken many time lapses and will say it is a guessing game to some extent - a game of trial and error:).
Dang! Great video. Very helpful. I've been wanting to learn time lapse. Also, you have both 3400 and the d5600?! I have the d3400. What's your take on the focus focus system compared w 3400 and 7200? I'm considering upgrading for wildlife shots since l live in Alaska and want to photograph bears and eagles. My friend is selling his 7200. Your thoughts?
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) The D5600 has more focal points which might be of help when tracking various forms of moving wildlife, however I rarely depend/rely on many. I tend to leverage a center focal point and track the subject by simply moving the camera. If you have a camera with more focal points and the subject moves past the center point, the additional points should help to keep the subject in focus. Sony has always touted a bunch of focus points, but I simply do not use a bunch although I can see the benefits:). Since you plan to shoot in the wild to some extent, I like the D7200 over the D5600. The D7200 has a weather sealed body which is nice for the elements, more focal points, and faster max shutter (1/8000 vs 1/4000; most will not hit 1/4000 but nice to know you could reach 1/8000 if needed). Depending on your budget, you might also consider the D500. I did a review on the D500 and really liked it - ua-cam.com/video/XNZ1-l_w4fs/v-deo.html
RealWorld Great information. Thanks for such a thoughtful reply. I'll consider the 7200. I'm not in the market for the d500 as I need to purchase a long lens as well. I use the 70-300 kit lens currently. I'm reading reviews and looking at tamron 150-600mm.
Glad to be of help!:) The D3400 and D7200 contain the same sized sensor and I suspect image quality will be similar, however the D7200 is a bit more rugged:). I like the tamron 150-600 (amzn.to/2GCzoCD) and might consider reviewing/testing at some point.
next week i will buy one
Hi RealWorld! I just got a D5600, but when I do timelapses at night, I get a notification that says "subject too dark". I've tried manually adjusting both the aperture and shutter speed, but it won't take any photos because the camera thinks the subject looks too dark. Thanks for your amazing helpful videos!
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) I suspect you are taking a time lapse of something at night or relatively dark? When this happens, try manual mode. You will need to set the aperture and shutter, but that is okay.
Try manual focus also
Thanks for the vid! Question: why can't I go further than 7 h 59 min for the shooting time?
This is an interesting discovery/question:). My best guess has something to do with Nikon's maximum limitation of 20 mins per movie clip. If you take 1 shot per second for 7 hours and 59 minutes, you will receive a movie just under 20 mins. Since the interval of the time lapse can vary greatly, this does not make much sense but it is a guess on my part:).
what is best nikon camera?
some say its D5 while others say its D850 or Z7 (mirrorless).
i just need your opinion...thanks
Thanks for the post/question ... hmmmmm:). You hit some of the top Nikon cameras:). If I had to choose between the 3, I might lean towards the Z7. All three are solid choices but the Z7 has 5 axis in-body stabilization, great video AF, along with many other features. I also really like the D850. It is a hefty camera compared to the Z7 regarding size and weight. I would not have a problem shooting with either camera really:). I actually like a bigger camera but I can also see the benefits to the Z7 size:).
I could use your help. I am planning on buying a new lens, I am stuck between the 35mm & 50mm Nikkor lens. I plan on taking both landscape and portrait pictures, but I don't know which to pick. Would the 35mm be good for portraits and group shots or would the 50mm be better? Help. Haha!
Thanks for the post/question:). Both will take equally sharp shots - I have used both and they are great in my opinion. I typically run with one - the fixed 50:). Why? I like a bit more range/zoom. I have taken many portraits with the fixed 50 and find that I do not have to get too close to the subject. I created a video using the fixed 50 on a D7000 for portraits which worked great (ua-cam.com/video/Dun-ANF5evQ/v-deo.html). The wider the better for landscape though:). Could you do landscapes with a fixed 50? Absolutely. Could you do portraits with a fixed 35? Absolutely:). I you plan to do my portraits, I might lean towards the 50. If you plan to do more landscapes, I might lean towards the 35:).
Drinking game, everytime he says "now" take a shot :P I'm just ribbing you bud great video!
LOL - good times!:)
Yes sir, after watching your review we went with this camera! Its amazing!
Could you help me as to why my camera is not highlighting some of these settings? Highlight as it it wont let me select...iv followed all quidlines up until "Auto ISO SENSITIVITY Control"
hmmmm ... curious to know what mode you are using. typically, certain controls are disable depending on your mode. manual mode should open everything for the most part. :)
Does the D5600 battery lasts for couple of days with long timelapse mode ON? eg shooting the flower blooming from bud.
Unfortunately, no - the battery will drain:).
@@RealWorld Thanks for update. Thought that DSLR might have long lasting battery as they are not power hungry as mirrorless. After turning most of the options I am able to shoot with Z6II for max 6 hrs.. This is not enough for shooting flowers timelapse.
Mirrorless cameras are power hungry and while mirrored cameras are more efficient, their batteries can only last for so long:). Nonetheless, if you have multi batteries, you might swap between shots (do you best to not move the camera).
got my first camera a D5600 yesterday and I'm like Jon snow right now who knows nothing.. How fast will the battery drain during time lapse? Is there anyway of using an adapter?
LOL ... you are on the right path!:) Once you disable the image preview and start with a full battery, you can go a long time depending on the frequency of shots ... should be good to handle most time lapses.
I saw nikon 3400 for with a bundle $485 do u recommend me buy it? Or get another one. I have s8 plus. Or should i stay with my phone camara?
Thanks for the post/question David. I see the D3400 bundled with the 18-55 for $496 which is solid as of today (amzn.to/2GX7KNF). I also see an option to add the 70-300 for extra $100 which is not bad. I tested the 70-300 with good results in opinion (ua-cam.com/video/1RaXjNuD6ls/v-deo.html). Camera phones are getting better but will always have two major limitation which is the sensor size and lack of lenses. The one nice feature is portability. Camera phones are portable which is nice. If you want to get into photography and move to the next level, the D3400 or D5600 is a solid option in my opinion. The main difference between the D3400 (ua-cam.com/video/cORINOaLSTk/v-deo.html) and D5600 is screen (along with a few others, but the screen is the first notable difference).
Quick question, can I make high quality slow motion videos with a nikon d3400? Great vid by the way
Thanks for the post/question Xavier!:) Slow motion will happen in post process which I have done before in Premier. The key to good slow motion is to capture video at a faster frame rate than the render video. For example, if you are rendering a video at 30fps, you may want to capture the slow motion video at 60fps in the camera. Why? When you place the video on the timeline, you will setup to run at half speed (60fps at half speed is 30). This will render a smooth slow motion:). I typically record at 24fps and slow mo when needed when is not the smoothest but works in my opinion:). One example of this can be found on my latest video found here - ua-cam.com/video/KhQMFaRAh_A/v-deo.html ... when walking on the bridge, I slowed 24fps down to 12.5 (24 cut in half). The result is good for me but not the smoothest:).
RealWorld Thank You!
I already have D7200, will it work as d5600 is doing for a time lapse video?
yes, the D7200 works in a very similar manner regarding time lapse - works well:).
Good instructions but sadly I do not have a time-laps option on my Nikon camera
Thanks for the video! (I have the d5600) Btw bracketing option has to be turned off! Also Interval timer shooting is not an option if Live View is on.
Thanks for the post/tips!:) Great points!:)
since a D3400 and a D5600 have the same apsc sensor is there any difference in photo quality?
Thanks for the post/question ... they are going to be very similar from an image quality perspective. The share the same sensor and resolution. The D5600 offers more focal points, external mic port, and rotating touch screen as the main difference:).
Hi can you put a video with application polarr for photo editing.. it will be really helpfull for people who dont want to spend money on lr. Your videos are very simple and great help. Appriciate what you are doing .
Thanks for the post/feedback/suggestion:). I took a quick look at Polarr ... Polarr is good for editing but not managing. Polarr is like a trimmed back version of Photoshop and works fairly well in my opinion ... you load an image > make edits > save/export > load another image and repeat:). Lightroom allows you to categorize all images in addition to making edits, etc. Lightroom doubles as a photo management and edit tool.
i want to do remote photography by using snapbridge on my d3400 by using a nikon wifi adapter Wu 1A .. is that possible ?? plz reply . .thanks
Unfortunately, I do not believe so. The WU-1a is not compatible with the D3400 and snapbridge will not allow for remote shooting on the D3400 (snapbridge will allow files to be transferred by not for remote shooting (snapbridge will allow for remote shooting on the D500 and a few others but not the D3400)).
Am I doing something wrong? Mine won't even let me go into the menu for the time lapse unless I'm in auto or no flash auto mode
Sir, i have d5600 with me. Last week, i purchased AC adaptor with DC coupler for live streaming in FB. The streaming may last for more than an hour.
My doubt is that, can we stream video contineously, above 30 minutes, with this camera.
You should be able to stream for longer than 30 mins but not record:).
Thanks for the reply🌷🙏🏻
Can i do this with my nikon d3400 ?
with this camera when you are recording a video, can you take photos at the same time? I am deciding which camera to buy. TIA
Unfortunately, no. You can try to copy a frame from the video but it will pale in comparison to taking a tradition shot:).
@@RealWorld I see thank you
Is it possible to adjust iso and shutter speed manually while shooting videos
great question and unfortunately, no ... you must stop the recording first.
Sir plz suggest me to choose between canon 200d and d5600 ?...secondly i wanted to know that...is d5600 make any noise while recording in autofocus mode ?
These two are very similar although I might give the edge to the D5600. Nikon removed the AA filter which is good (the anti-aliasing filter which tends to soften images). Ultimately, this might come down to cost:). If the 200d is cheaper, I might lean in that direction as well:).
Thank You so much sir for your suggestion :) Looking forward for more suggestion too in near future :)
😍
Do you use an intervalometer?
I do not use an external intervalometer. Since the camera has on built-in, I simply use the camera:).
In Your opinion it is good camera for beginners? And what lenses recommended for start
Thanks for the post/question Adam:). Absolutely, the D3400 is a great camera for beginners and not-so beginners in my opinion:). The D3400 is a capable camera in the right hands and I have created a handful of videos which should be of help in understanding many concepts, techniques, etc. Feel free to follow me on Instragram if you like - instagram.com/realworldpicts I just started the account and plan to post more picts soon:).
Me ayudo mucho
Glad to be of help!:)
I have a question if u can help me...for how long I can use d5300 for timelapse?
The limitation might be directly correlated to the storage capacity of your card:). A larger card means more photos.
@@RealWorld what I mreant is because the battery is not that big....for how long
John Cena's brother!! 😲😲
Ahhhhh yes!:)
RealWorld seriously?
No:). Others have made similar comments though:).
Hahaha this thread made me laugh
