2.6 Timelapse

Timelapse setup is as easy as possible. Just set up Record Time, Movie Length (Duration) or
Interval. Picture Amount and Motor Step Length are calculated automatically. Timelapse start
and stop positions are the initialized endpoints HOME and END.
In Interval mode the Movie Length is calculated based on Record Time and Interval Setup.

Interval

The Interval time involves camera exposure and motor movement, and - if configured - also
focus time and lead time for external light.
In Interval mode an exact time amount for the interval can be configured. If the interval is set
to a value that is physically not possible, the font color becomes red and timelapse cannot be
started.
In Duration mode the Interval time is calculated based on Record Time and Movie Length
Setup.

Pictures

This is the amount of exposures, calculation being based on timelapse configuration.

Record Time

This time defines the amount of time for full timelapse record.
Setting Record Time to 0, means endless record time and also a
motor step length of 0. This can be used for very long timelapse
records without any motorized slider connected (stand-alone
Control Unit).

Movie Length

This time is the final length of the time lapse movie, calculated
with respect to the defined frames per second (FPS) setup (cf. 2.8
– Timelapse Settings).
In Duration mode an exact Movie Length can be defined and
Interval time is calculated based on Record Time and Movie
Length Setup.
