Great video and Time-lapse on canon R5! You did an amazing job of explaining and presenting it! Thank you for taking the time to post this video. You should have subscribers in thousands.
Grate video, but I think constant aperture is the best, because variable aperture can change the depth of field during the shots and therefore ruin the project, regardless the camera brand or model. Cheers..! The newbie😊
Great info cheers. Been looking for this since getting my r6ii. Back in the days of qdslrdashboaer things were easy, apart from loss. Connection. Off to shoot some holy grails in a day or two, many thanks. Oh, to stop Timelapse, switch to bulb mode 😏
Thank you very much for the tips, I really didn’t know that you can shot raw photos Timelapse with R5 without intervalometer. I thought is only that movie Timelapse build in. That’s great! You earn a subscriber 👍
Hi thanks for the comment. I'm not completely sure as i don't have the R5c but i know that it has a dual menu system for photo and video. Perhaps you need to check which one is being used.
Great video! I am trying to do a 24-hour time lapse. Would you modify these settings in any way? Do you think my battery will last long enough? How many shots per minute should I take? THANKS!
Hi. A single battery will not be enough. A Powerbank for sure or maybe even have the camera plugged in to the mains. I think you'd probably need to use an ND filter for the bright mid day and then gradually open the ND up as the light fades. I think for a 24hr timelapse manual control might work better. This technique is only really effective when shooting just before sunset. However, you can change the settings to compensate for the midday by making the aperture go all the way to f22. That may work but watch our for sensor dust. I think shutter speed could go up to 1/200s and then all the way down to 3/4 seconds during night time. keep ISO on auto and maybe use 800 or 1600 as the max value.
Thx Matthew - great video and explicit instructions for timelapse settings - much appreciated - however - I had the number of frames selected as 00 - unlimited. You said in the video was to turn off the camera to stop recording. I may have misunderstood. I believe the camera needs time AFTER the shoot to process the 100's of frames into a MOV file. Correct? I turned off the camera and found 739 frames on my compact flash card - no MOV file. So how to you STOP the timelapse process without turning off the camera?
Hi Ken. Thanks for the comment. Maybe some confusion about the timelapse modes. This is not the movie timelapse mode. For that you will need to switch the camera to one of the video modes then navigate to the timelpase settings in the menu. Then you can set the camera to record a timelapse movie. This isn't something i use so i can't help any further with the technical side until i've looked at it in more detail. I always shoot my timelapse as RAW photos then post process the files using LRTimelapse and Lightroom.
Hi Jenna. Glad you found the video of some interest. I used the Elgato HDMI Cam Link Capture device plugged in to the Macbook. Then just use screen record. For the timelapse example 3200 iso was probably a little too high. Experiment with lower iso values or even ramp the iso manually. Also, for best results get yourself a copy of LRTimelapse for post production work.
quick question, when changing all of these settings and creating a customer setting, does this change all of your camera settings for other modes eg M and Av? or will i need to go back and change my settings back to what i had beforehand? cheers
Curious, when using this setup, using the parameters you show in the video, does the shutter speed continue to lower until the minimum shutter speed is reach, and then the iso increase kicks in or does the iso raise to 3200 before the shutter speed starts to extend beyond normal hand holding parameters that canon still uses in non 'M' programs? Your video overlay at the end, suggests the later, which is obviously not idea as you'll have noiser images earlier on in the time-lapse.
The ISO settings max out first but you can lower the maximum ISO. I find 800 ISO actually works well. The settings in the video are just for illustrative purposes. Unfortunately, Canon doesn't seem to have any functionality to be able to change the order of automatic Aperture, Shutter speed and ISO, like some other camera brands may have. There is external camera hardware that does exactly what you mentioned. I'm finding the R5 and R6 handle noise quite well.
@@mstarling79quite simple...using fv mode instead, fixes aperture and iso in the begning, and the when exposure time reach your limit, fixes the exposure time but makes the iso auto. also, you can limit your exposure time in the auto settings as you do here. then the camera would increase exposure time and then iso when reaching the exposure time limit
Oh yeah baby! Great video! I wish Canon allowed a mode dial for a “user profile” then I can create and select “Sports” as I use 2 custom saves, or “Astro” or “Studio” just how many profiles we want to create to expand the 3 custom saves. Also why not move the custom saves to a button & Q menu then we are not limited to 3 custom saves I assume this could too work in Fv mode as you explained P but keeping all in Auto and maybe limiting the aperture to keep the dof under control. Why the 99 shot limit Canon. Come on lol
Hi Chris. Thanks for the comment. It will be exactly the same for the R6. I believe it will be mostly the same for the R8 as this camera has interval shooting and also Shutter and Aperture range. The the RP has an interval timer but does not have set Shutter and Aperture range. The RP was released around the same time as the R camera. Hope that helps.
@@mstarling79 Thanks for the reply. That certainly helps as I would like to get into this with the fewest headaches as possible. I saw a lightly used R6 for about the same price as a new R8. If given that choice between the two, which way would you lean?
@@chris.fitzgerald They are both good cameras but i think the R6 will have more a professional feel to it. Just depends if 4 mp less on the R6 compared to the R8 is a problem The R6 MK11 has the 24mp sensor, the same as the R8. I would always get the best camera possible. The R6 is the better camera but if you can stretch to the R6 Mk11 then that would be even better. Hope that helps.
@@mstarling79 Thanks agin for the help. I am a non paid enthusiast at best doing it for my own mental well-being, so budget is a major consideration. Thanks again. The info about the RP was most helpful. I am also considering the Nikon Z6 because it seems to do the same thing with their Program mode.
I have an R6 a short time and doing tests, photo and video, when it reaches 1" or less appears the message Busy, the memories are of good capacity, the ISO settings off, I did the test in 7D II and does not appear the message, it may be some wrong configuration.
Hi Adilson. Sorry if you're having some issues with the R6. Perhaps check which shutter option you are using. The electronic shutter doesn't allow some functions to operate. Switch to Electronic First Curtain or Mechanical. Other than that try a firmware update.
Matthew, thanks for this video. Just one quick question: Is there no benefit besides saving space to using RAW vs CRAW? I almost always shoot in craw but I thought there might be some benefit in post by using RAW. Keep in mind that I have never made a timelapse but am studying up on doing them very soon. Also, do you have any videos with suggestions on how to actually get started making timelapses? I seem to be frozen in the read everything under-the-sun mode here. :(. Thanks!
Hi Anthony. The main reason for using CRAW over RAW is file space. It is possible that the CRAW are quicker to process but i'm yet to test this out over RAW. Check out Matthew Vandeputte youtube channel for more in depth timelapse tutorials. Hope that helps.
I just found this video so sorry for the late reply... If this is not you sorry! I am a serial procrastinator so if you are anything like me, you are still reading up on the perfect timelapse settings or gear, if that is halftrue... here is my tip. It is okay to consume knowledge, but you need to value your time higher than anything else, if you see a video that seems interesting make sure to not press play until you started a timelapse. The first ones will be bad because we lack experience and knowledge . With the new knowledge from the video apply it right away in a new timelapse. Again if that is not your story sorry for imposing my experiences on you. Have a nice day.
Unfortunately the process only works for this technique the way as shown in the tutorial. Canon does not make it possible to prioritise shutter, aperture or ISO. You'd have to control the camera manually or use an intervalometer device. I bought an Arsenal 2 camera assistant which allows what you're asking but i found it to be very unreliable.
From 17:09 on wards, when the aperture reaches the limit, the ISO starts to ramp, when the ISO reaches the limit, the shutter speed starts to change. Is it possible to set the ISO to be the last variant to change? thanks
Hi K K. Unfortunately with the Canon cameras there's no way of changing the order of the exposure variables. I think its possible with the Sony and Nikon cameras (i may be wrong there). Hopefully Canon can introduce it in a firmware update. I also have the Arsenal 2 camera assistant, which allows you to set the order of exposure for time-lapse. I'll be testing that out soon.
So I followed the video exactly how you did it and saved it under my C1, But when I switch back to manual mode the shutter and ISO won’t go below what I set for C1
Hi Mark. Difficult for me to understand the issue completely but it might be because the minimum and maximum aperture and shutter speeds have to be reset within the menu system. A bit of a pain after completing a custom set up but thats just how the Canon cameras work. Hope that helps. Sorry for the late reply.
I tried this last weekend on a day-night timelapse, with car light trails and moonrise. It worked quite well. Thanks, Matthew!
Glad it helped! It's probably not the perfect way to do things but it gets the job done on occasions when you simply can't be next to the camera.
Настроил режим на своём Canon R5. Спасибо!! Сегодня буду пробовать 🙌🏻

For a 24 hour time lapse you will need a power bank as a single battery will only last around four hours tops

Do you still need to fix flickering with LR Timelapse for example?
Hi Gregor thanks for the comment. I generally always use the de-flicker tool in LR Timelapse for every sequence.
