That was a thoughtful and helpful tutorial. Thanks for sharing your discoveries and experiments with Timelapse on the FX6. Shoutout from a former resident of Anchorage. Cheers!
@@907DP yes it does - for example if you set it to 180 degree shutter angle and 1fp/s, the shutter speed is 1/2s. Same thing but much easier to work with.
@@janisbrodbut that doesn’t allow you to ‘drag’ the shutter! 180 degree rule will give you a 1/2 shutter speed at 1 frame per second. Doing it my way with interval record, you can get shutter speeds as slow as 64F! You can get nothing close to that doing it your way, the slowest shutter speed you can get using S&Q is 1F, or translated into ‘shutter angle’ the slowest shutter angle you can set in S&Q is 360 degrees. Not even close to the amount you can ‘drag’ the shutter in ‘interval record’ mode. Dragging the shutter is what gives you the ‘smeary headlights’ look in a time-lapse. You just can’t get that look to the same extent by using S&Q mode because you are locked out of the ‘F’ or frame accumulation modes in shutter speed.
Great video, and perfect timing for me to find this having just got my FX6. Really helpful, thank you! Subscribed 👍🏼
Awesome! Glad it helped you out!

Thanks for the tip! Glad someone made this I was completely stuck
You're welcome, glad it was useful!
I’m finding the FX6 has a bit higher learning curve than the other cameras I’m used to, so this is super helpful. Thanks!
Yay, glad it was useful!
I am just learning how to use the FX6, and this video has helped me better understand timelapse. Thanks
I'm glad it was able to help you out. Do you shoot timelapses often? I personally love shooting them! Thanks for watching!
Very informative👍
Thanks! Glad it was helpful.
Thanks for the video!!
Your welcome! Hope it provided something of value to you.
Cool ramping trick
That variable ND on the FX6 can be used for all sorts of cool things!
Just use shutter angle instead of shutter speed and you’re good in S&Q mode.
But S&Q mode won't let you 'drag' the shutter speed which is what this tutorial is all about!

@@GabeStrong ok I see, you’re talking about timelapses with less than one frame per second… I very very rarely need anything sped up that much.
