Chris, you are amazing! I’ll be backpacking next week in a gorgeous alpine wilderness of Washington. I wanted to test timelapse photography prior to my trip. This is exactly what I needed to get myself started. I setup my Fujifilm X-T3 with my Fujinon 16-80mm (I know that you don’t love this lens, but its perfect for backpacking [weather/dust resistant & OIS]) and set everything to manual, just like you said (I decided not to disengage the lens and didn’t notice ill effects). I nailed it on the first try! On top of this, it only took me about 2 minutes to figure out how to turn it into a proper video using LumaFusion on my iPad Pro. I just want you to know that you are helping me become a better photographer-you are helping all of us become better photographers.
Jeremy!! Sorry for the late response. I've been buried in comments lately so getting to this just now. Anyhow, THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN and that's so awesome to hear!!! I'm sure you are getting some AMAZING photos and will continue to get better in the weeks and months ahead. Please stay in touch! 👍
Hi Jeremy .. could you let me know the shutter speed and interval to shoot a sun rise? Next week I am going Himalayas.. please help. I am gonna use the 16mm f1.4 . And what what would be the best aperture for this lens? 🙏 thanks..
Although I have an X-T30, I've learned so much from watching your videos. I appreciate the way you get in-depth into the settings and share your occasional frustrations. I've watched several tutorial videos where there was little talk of individual settings, only a quick glossing over of important editing information and no talk of failures or mistakes. Thank you for what you're doing and I hope the channel continues to grow and prosper 👍
I used your tutorial here and made my first timelapse this weekend. Thank you so much!:) Even though it was simple it didn't end up flickering and I was pretty proud of myself! Your instructions were perfect! :)
That’s so wonderful!!! Thank you so much Stephanie!! 🙏🙏
When I was in high school (~2008ish), I worked for a small company that made time lapse equipment for civil engineering projects, mostly bridge construction. It was super cool but mostly went over my head. We made solar powered intervalometers with waterproof housings that kept a Canon DSLR going for months on end. A five-minute time lapse would cover two years of construction. Now I'm 30 and finally getting back into this incredible hobby and photography in general. Thanks for your wisdom!
Hello! In my opinion, this is the best youtube channel about Fujifilm. Thank you for the tutorial you saved my work today))
This was so what I wanted and needed ,thank you!
That's awesome!!!!! Get out there and I'd love to see what you do!!!!
The brilliant way to explain.. really love it I am gonna try this soon...
had my xt3 4 months always wanted to learn timelapes and you've made it sound so easy thanks.
Thank you so much!!!
YOU ARE THE BEST CHRIS!!!!!!
such an informative video. You went so deep into it and I can't thank you enough. Keep doing what you already are doing. Eventually, your channel will explode. Thanks once again man.
Thank you so much my friend!!!! 🙏
And another gem in the box. I think that your tutorial videos (XT3 related but not only) are the best. THANK YOU Chris.
Thanks Greg!!!! 🙏 I really appreciate the kind words...totally made my day! Please keep in touch! -- Chris
I’m an experienced photographer but novice at time-lapse. This video is spot on for me really good solid straight forward advice from someone who obviously knows what he is talking about 👍
I always appreciate watching time lapse but never until now, after watching your video, realized I can do it, so thank you very much. I’ll watch it again, just to make a list of what I need to do before going out as well as what I’ll need to do once on site. Having a check list will make all the difference for me until I become familiar with the settings. I just got into astrophotography and now I’ll have this to add to my repertoire. Thanks again. I’ve been shooting since I was a kid of ten. I’m 79 and once again, with the XT1 (converted to IR), XT2 and most recently the XT3, I’m having as much fun as when I first started out. Love the camera and again, loved this video. I’ve been inspired which is a gift in itself.
Robert your thoughts just made my day!!!! Thank you for sharing.... I'd really love to see what you come up with. You've been shooting for so many years---I'll bet you have some amazing stories to share, not to mention some incredible photos. Please do keep in touch!!!! I'm at chris.lee@pal2tech.com.
One of the best and most informative videos ever. Thanks for a great tips and insight to the Fujifilm settings. Super
I watched this timelapse video the night before doing a big timelapse shoot. I'm so grateful as I learned from the issues you discovered and the shoot went well. Thanks again for providing great content.
That's awesome Alistair!!! Thank you so much for letting me know! 🙏
Came across your channel last week and have been loving your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them so entertaining and educational. :)
Hi Marcus, thank you so much for the kind words! Yeah, I really enjoyed making this video - and one day want to return to Jekyll Island to do it again. It's been tough lately for everyone of course. I hope you are staying safe and I look forward to seeing you again around this channel! Take care buddy…
Thank you, only just seen this, its very very useful. I know what I am doing this weekend now
Thank you very much! Great video with a complete set of tips. Awesome!
Thanks Sergio!!!! I really appreciate it man!!! All the best to you sir!!!
Brilliant and fun tutorial. Thanks so much for pointing me in a completely new direction, can't wait!
Great to hear!
Time-lapse captures lots of little moments into one incredible moment. I'd love to hear about your experience with time-lapse. It's a surreal part of photography.
Thank you so much for such an awesome video and helping me solve several of my problems with timelapse capture!
Another free option for creating timelapse videos from photos in MacOS is to use Quicktime, where you can select File->Open Image Sequence :)
So many fantastic tips - thank you!!
I just discovered this! Really well done! Great explanations and examples!
Thank you very much for this detailed video. It's what I was looking for. People like you make this a great community.
J.A., thank you so much!!! That's so nice of you to say and totally made my day (or make that my week, LOL). Please do keep in touch and I'll definitely be making more photography/fujifilm orientated videos soon. All the best to you!!!
Awesome video, love the way you take us thru every detail and thanks for the sensor cleaning tip, I’ve suffered myself because of that and now I know how to fix that.
Thank you so much Nitish!!! Yeah, I was pulling my hair out with that one. I really thought the camera was broken. It was right at the cutoff between shutting off and turning on again for the next shot -- driving me CRAZY. Hopefully this will help some folks. Thanks again and all the best to you!!!!
That was brilliant I learnt so much. Just got the XT4 and going to give it ago on our up coming visit to Venice. Thank you.
The begining is huge! Wow love the atmosphere, music, the quote, the scene! Alright, let's continue the video i'm sure it will be awesome
Well, here I am: A novice to photograpy, I have raked the YT and have not found a channel that would give as thorough, clear, and as practical instructions on how to use my Sony rx100 as yours on Fujifilm. So, i went ahead and got me a bearly used x-t30. For one, the fact that the most imortant settings are right on top rather than in the abyss of settings inside the camera is a blessing. Then, you make all the proceses so easy to learn. For this greenhorn, this makes it another blessing. Yes, the F camera is much heavier than the tiny S, but after watching a number of your films for days on now (my neighbors must think some talkative man has moved in with me 😆), I have decided to take both cameras to my 7 day… ultralight hike around Bornholm beginning of August. The neighbors will hear you talk a LOT before I go as I have a ton to learn and practice still. Anyway, your content gives me hope and inspires to grow my newfound hobby. THANK YOU!
Ps. Greetings from Krakow, Poland!

@@simerga5842 Thank you!!
Your channel is really awesome man ❤️
Thank you so much 😀
My fuji guru!!!
awesome video! thanks pal2tech
When we talk about a cinematic look, I‘d recommend to try and test long exposure times when shooting fast moving items like moving people. A bit of motion blur makes it looking really smooth and cinematic.
Thank you so much. It helps a lot. Cheers! s2
QUESTION: But first, thank you! Great tips. Prime vs zoom for time-lapses? Any preference? Would a prime have less flickering for some reason?
Excellent video !
Thank you so much Nabarun!!! 🙏
Rewatched this video after I stared shooting timelapses. Great tips and very informarive and helpful video. I missed some of them the first time, so next time I'll implement them 😀. Keep it up, great chanel 💪!
Thank you so much Nikola!!! 🙏
Thank you for the video. i had problems about flicking until now :)
As a Fuji xt3 user your information are priceless mahalo 👏
Great video I had no idea that time lapse could be so technical. I'm brand new to the xt3. On the lens twist method, I've noticed that with some manual lenses they state to use 'shoot without lens' option. Can this be used with fuji lenses to the same effect as the lens twist method? Or have I missed something here? Would that cause other issues?
Awesome guide and lots of helpful advice and motivation. My first google search after watching this video was to lookup how to set a custom white balance on the X-T3 with a grey card to avoid flicker. It's very easy and would have been a useful inclusion in the guide. Looking forward to getting back out on the beach here in Sydney Australia to catch another beautiful sunrise (sadly no turtles). Grats on the 5k and keep up the great work !
GREAT point Joe! I definitely should have included that in the video for sure! In fact, I'm working on a new video on setting up custom white balance and white balance in general -- so this is great timing! A big hello to Sydney from me -- it literally is my favorite city on earth.
Love your videos. Got many tips in this single video to run my fuji ex4 for interval shooting mode. I'm into astrophotography as I've seen no one has shared tips for camera settings for fuji to get best results for aiming nebula's. Hoping you can get a video for that. Thanks!!
Great job, I’ve been waiting for an XT3 time lapse tutorial!! 👍
Hey Andy, that's great to hear... I wasn't sure if this was a relevant topic or not, as there are so many camera features, etc. to cover. I'm really really REALLY glad to hear that you found it helpful. All the best to you sir!!!!
pal2tech and the de-twist of the lens seems genius - I’m going to try that! 😊
@@andyobrien6263 Thanks Andy! Give it a go. Not a lot of lenses work with it, but the 35mm did for me. Just be extra careful. Remember that the lens is not attached as firmly to the camera. Don't do this technique of run/gun handholding of course, but for sturdy tripod-mounted stuff, it should be fine.
Thanks for showing me this today UA-cam - I’ve just got myself an X-T2! Brilliant video with some essential tips. My second camera will be my X-T100 which I still have and, oh look, it stitches the timelapse into a movie for you in camera!! Still I do want to try it with my X-T2 and put it together myself and try some pan and zoom tricks in post.
Awesome!! 👍
Yay! I've been looking forward to your next video and you didn't disappoint. I mean I don't even care about time lapse photography and I watched it all the way thru and totally enjoyed it! lol
Request: I'm sure you have future subjects planned, but would you add shooting video to the list (if you haven't already)?
Thanks for the 37ish minutes of education and entertainment! :)
Awwww, thank you Scottie!!!!! 🙏🙏 And you got it!!! Video is definitely going to be major ones coming soon!!!
please include in the video on "How to use the gimble with XT3", thank you in advance, cheers
Jerry Leow Thank you and I'm doing a gimbal video for sure!
Great tutorial, should I turn IBIS off as well (X-H1)?
amazing tutorial....
Thank you! Cheers!
hi Pal. thanks for your videos! One question, if you use the method lens twisting, is it possible to use a small aperture? *or even like this causes flickering?
Just come across. Another great video. Q. If I use a motorised slider, if I use its triggering function, do I leave XT3 time-lapse settings OFF? ( ie just set to manual and let slider do the triggering)
Could not figure out the flicker issue, thank you for the awesome insight on disconnecting the lens.. Brilliant video, cheers!!
Thank you so much!!!
Chris, very good explanation, excellent video, I have the doubt if the manual shutter option on Fuji lenses (XF Zoom) is enough to be sure of working 100% manual?
Greetings from Bogotá.
I'm really looking forward to trying this. Question about beach sunsets -- have you tried a reverse grad filter at all? I've found that very useful for sunset stills.
I just saw this on July 14 2021 another excellent explanation - as you assume the photographer knows nothing and frankly I like that approach thanks again Pal2tech
Very helpful! Thanks!
Thank you!!!! I'm so glad to hear that!
A fantastic tutorial, I was actually wondering why the annoying flickering is still appearing if I am in all-manual but never thought about what you explained, that makes perfect sense. And now I do wonder for the "lens twist" if this also can be achieved if I put a very slight amount of thin tape where the connector between the lens and the mount is in order to "cut" that connection (in cases where the actual twist doesn't work? Also, another question is - if you still use the Auto WB, but then use Auto WB lock, will this be ok? :)
