I prefer the time-lapse movie mode for most of my tl's because it's a bit easier to setup, MUCH easier to handle in post, you can shoot it in 4k, and the quality is great. I save the Intervalometer for much needed higher quality images and compositions in post.
One of my favorite (nikon shot) tl's on youtube:

Thanks ... tremendous help in better understanding interval/time lapse settings.
Great job Phillip! Thank you.
I love your Z6 videos! I’m learning lots!! Thank you 🙏
Thanks so much for watching, Sarah!
Cheers!
Thanks for bring some clearness over these items.
That was very useful and straightforward thanks so much !
Nice tutorial. I have been taking lots of images over the last 2 years with my Z6 but rarely any videos of any kind. Thank you.,
Best video so far on this feature. 🔥
Thanks so much!
Excellent Z6 timelapse tutorial. Thank you much. Bob
Hey Bob, thank you so much for watching!!! I'm glad it worked for you. Cheers!
really helpful, thanks a ton!
You are part of my Nikon journey.
LOL Thanks JJ!
Thanks for this amazing video!! I feel excited about making some time lapses :)
I'm so glad you liked it!
Thanks so much!
Enjoy yourself shooting. Don't stress about anything. Enjoy the moment.
Cheers!
Great video Phillip!
Thanks so much! Means a lot.
Cheers!
Nice..just bought a z5. What a great camera system
thanks. very helpful.
thanks for the video, i will be trying this option tonight.. subbed and liked.. keep posting z6 videos plz... i am new to photography and any tips and tricks on z6 is very much needed for me..
Thank you 😊😊
THANK YOU!!!!!
Iam new to time lapse what is a good time interval and how do you calculate how long you need to shoot to have a certain amount of time lapse footage.
Thank You for the info.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the Video. I´ve two questions about it. First: is it possible to use exposure bracketing or hdr while shooting a time lapse? Second: what ist this posibility to make more than one pic during an intervall for? I don´t have the slighest Idea why it should be good for me to have 2 or 3 times the same picture....
Does the time-lapse movie feature, uses only the electronic shutter?
ace clip. dose it matter on what lens u would use ..
You deserve more succes on UA-cam
Wow thank you!
I really appreciate that.
Cheers!
Nice video. For me the biggest benefit with electronic shutter is saving shutter life :)
Do both options for Timelapse use the electronic shutter instead of the Mechanical shutter? Im guessing you can switch when you choose silent mode, am i correct?
Good to see you back Phillip. I still haven't bought a Z6 I'm hoping Nikon eventually make a 2 slot version and make the AF a bit more simpler. I may buy the D780 as I've been waiting a long time now. 😊
Please get the D780, it's an awesome camera.
Hey Mark it's good to hear from you again. I would say the biggest reason to go with the Z series over the D780, for example, would be the new lenses. They're simply the best I've seen from Nikon so far. Also you will not enjoy the silent af without them.
Other than that, the D780 specs are incredible!
the z6 ibis and evf and focuspeaking is a gamechanger if you have F-mount lenses and manual focus lenses
Hey! If you answer this i'd be truly greatful: i need to do a timelapse video of a sunrise with my z6. And i want to use the movie mode. But i dont know how to set the exposure. If i just leave it in auto, the camera will always try to make a "correct" exposure and im not going to get a smooth transition. Idk if im being clear.. but maybe you can help me out. Cheers from argentina 🤙
Hey Bruno! A couple things. First, you've gotta understand the ending exposure (ie. when the sun is up fully) so that you're not overexposed. The first little while will be underexposed but quickly come into the composition beautifully. This is the simplest solution. Set it to manual and decide the exposure you want to end with. Go a day early if needed to get that perfect setting.
The other option is one I haven't tried which is an exposure smoothing software plugin ( I believe I saw one built for lightroom you could search for ). This will let you shoot different exposure settings and then smooth out the finals in post. This is probably what you're looking for. I'm sorry I don't have more info on that solution. Look for the golden timelapse editing.
I hope that helps!
Cheers!
I know this video is "older" --> Silent Photography - So the camera shoot with the eletronical shutter, so no dead shutters or ???
When I try to choose the time lapse movie or interval timer shooting option, it gives me a pop up that says, ""this option is not available at the current settings or in the camera's current state." How do I get my camera into the right "state." Thank you!
Maybe you have to switch off Self-Timer
My one big question (having shot for a few months w/o doing a time-lapse) is BATTERY life??? Luv my Z6 but DAMN does this CHEW thru batteries like there is no Tom tomorrow (or even later on today!!!)
Hi George, Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Yeah I've heard a lot of folks complain about battery life and I simply don't have any trouble at all. For example, I shot a time-lapse yesterday and the day before for a few hours (~3) each (3 second interval, movie mode in 4k) and still haven't needed to change out the battery.
My solution to any battery issues is to simply have a second battery and a charger on set. One's shooting, one's charging. I've never burnt through one faster than the other could charge by doing time-lapse.
Be sure you're not using IBIS at all, and that you're in manual focus. Those will drain you as well.
Cheers!
Thanks Philip for another video. I often use video timelapse with auto iso. At first made beginners mistakes and left auto focus on and ruined a beautiful day to night timelapse. Not sure how important is to turn off ibis or camera recognize its on tripod.
Hi, thanks for watching! Yup, I shoot a lot of mine recently in auto iso, everything else manual. Also don't be too hard on yourself. I make that af mistake still to this day! :)
I personally think it's important to switch off ibis and get the camera manually stable.
Do you have a channel I could see some of your work?
Stay safe out there!
Cheers
@@halfphild Hi Phillip. I have uploaded few videos on youtube, nothing fancy. I am more of stills than video for video is uncharted territory for me now. I am experimenting but dont have my laptop to backup or edit my work properly. Here is one of my timelapses ua-cam.com/video/VRcQKNYaC3w/v-deo.html
Which shutter speed isn't too fast so to avoid flicker in the timelapse movie?
The longest shutter you can do. Use a thick ND filter during the day. Then use flicker reduction software like LRTimelapse
I second what Kevin said.
Use a long shutter speed. Something that would blur any movement. At least 1/30". You'll have to stop down a lot in daylight or use an nd filter, or both. Slower shutter, smoother frame.
Cheers!
In the interval shooting say interval is 5 secs, what shd the shutter speed be?
Anything faster than 5 seconds.
I like to go fairly slow, say 1/20 but it also depends on what aperture I want to shoot at.
So if I want f/1.8 and that creates an overexposed image, then I'll speed up shutter. I also like low iso.
Too slow might blur you moving around, too fast might give a choppy feeling.
Find the look you want.
Cheers!
Self timer is not working of my Nikon z6 . Sir you make video in this topic please.
Hi Md! Thanks!
Yeah I will put together a how to on the self timer.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Cheers
Is this for the regular Z6 or Z6ii?
This was made for the original Z6 but I'm pretty sure most if not all of it applies to the Z6ii as well. I believe there are a few upgrades but this one could apply.
Gosh I need to make more videos lol
Cheers!
Why does my screen go black when I start the time lapse
Save battery maybe..
If I close my eyes it sounds like Owen Wilson speaking in some parts lol 😂
"WOW!" LOL 😂😆 I love it
Does anyone have any suggestions for the focus settings that should be on?
Hi Mary, for time lapse content always use manual. I set it where I want using autofocus but then I switch it to manual on the lens.
Outside of time lapse content I use a lot of aff with face detect as well as the large area mode. If it's video I almost always use the aff face detect mode.
I hope this helps!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Cheers
@@halfphild thank you so much for this advice!! I couldn’t find this answer anywhere :)
Manual focus
Great video! Have you ever run into an issue of the time lapse buffering or not taking pics for a short period of time? Kind of frustrating in the middle of a time lapse! It’s happened a couple times and I’m not sure why.
Hey Jonathan! Thanks!
No, I haven't seen that issue yet. There's so much more to say / show about timelapse and I'm thinking I'll make another video with actual footage of creating one.
I shoot a lot of mine in manual and with auto iso sometimes. I wonder if you're running into an interval & exposure problem?
What settings do you usually use? Do you remember what settings you were using when it happened?
Thanks so much for watching and commenting man.
I'll look into your issue and see what I can find out.
Cheers!
Hi. It happened to me once that a part of timelapse is missing, but I think the reason was lack of memory to store all photos before making video file.
The Z6 makes the video file on the fly, one frame at a time, so I doubt it’s a memory issue. The interval time should include for the exposure time as well as time to write to the card, I I’m speculating this is what happened - not enough time allowed to capture and write to XDQ. There is an interesting tutorial about doing an auto day-to-night “Holy Grail” timelapse method that uses the Program mode of the Z6 with very good results here: ua-cam.com/video/g8DGcOfYgc0/v-deo.html.
Phillip Flores thanks for the reply. I usually use just some basic settings. Can’t remember exactly but I’m sure it wasn’t overly working the camera. I have a 128gb XQD card, so I doubt it was space. It’s like it was creating the movie for a a short period of time and couldn’t take pics at the same time. I’ll need to further investigate, but i stopped using the internal time lapse function for that reason. I’ll try a again with your specific settings and see what I can come up with.
@@halfphild It did happened to me. I have sliderplus edelkrone and was moving a lot during timelapse. I have the camera since december 2019 and there are two important thing you should have in mind when you use timelapse movie in z6... Autofocus. Watchout for af settings because if you set it up as "permanent" you could experiment some "frame drops". I' ve had nikon d500 for three years and I was doing the same old thing and i did not know what I was doing wrong and then I realized, there was something about AF. Also you have to watch out for exposition.
how to close ??
shutdown ??
Push the ok button on the back of the camera, OR simply turn it off.
This will stop the tl. If it's a movie tl it'll stop it and write the file before shutting down.
I've been trying to find if this camera can shoot at a 1/2 second interval, but no review will show it. I would think 1 is the lowest, but it would be great to see just one reviewer go through every option. You guys always get so so so close to doing that, then don't. I mean that's a central part of timelapse, what intervals are available, and it's not even listed in the manual
Hey JackalopeTX! I'm sorry I didn't go through those options. I get that frustration. With the Z6 1/2" IS an option. The shortest option I show is zero in fact. Although if you select that and try to leave the menu it'll prompt you to "check settings." Anyway, the longest option is 24 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds. I hope that helps you out!
Thanks so much for watching!
Cheers!
@@halfphild Thanks!
@@halfphild do you know if the Z5 lets you do shorter than 1 sec too? Nikon has a video about timelapse on the Z5 and they didn't show any of the options. The guy just said "5 seconds is usually your best bet". I don't get why Nikon would keep this secret to the point it's not even listed in their manuals
I think you forgot to mention about a focus settings.
You're probably right! I'm so sorry about that!!! What I usually do is set focus automatically and then switch it to manual before I start, so that it doesn't change focus as the time lapse is running.
I hope this helps!
Cheers and thanks for watching and commenting!
Why didn't you mention that the interval has to do with the length of the exposure and the camera processing time. You can't have a 6 second interval if you exposure is going to be 10 seconds. Correctly calculating the interval is one of the most important factors in shooting a Timelapse. And you just basically skipped right over it, unreal.
Hey thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Yep guess I skipped right over that huh. Sounds like you've got it all together though so no worries. Also, ZERO viewers have asked about the details of calculating the interval yet so I guess they probably figured it out too.
Cheers!
dude, you do not need to interject your opinions on every single feature, explain the feature, say what they do at the end go into your rambling, this video is unwatchable
Dude, thanks for watching and taking the time to write down how I could present stuff. more optimally.
My channel might not be for you (and that's okay) because I can almost guarantee my opinions will be alive and present in all of my future work here. This is just one more channel offering up experience (which is individual and personal) and opinion. If you want fact, check out Nikon's spec sheets and enjoy pure unopinionated information.
Cheers!
