@@romanisaev61 I no longer have this camera so unfortunately I can't check for you, but M mode should be the right setting to do this? Can you change to mechanical shutter in any other mode?
I'm getting some unwanted flicker in my time-lapses with the G85. I have all settings set to Manual except for Shutter. I'm shooting in Aperture priority mode. Perhaps this is the reason why? Also, I am using the electronic shutter to save the number of physical shutter instances. I wonder if the type of shutter makes a difference? Another thing I don't understand is how can you have a 6-second shutter speed when shooting a time lapse with a 2-second interval? Wouldn't this essentially be making the shutter speed 2 seconds instead of 6? Thanks for your video!
Hi, Can I just ask where you're getting the 6 seconds from? That's a long time to have the shutter open during the daytime. I was in Ai mode so perhaps it was 1/60th perhaps? Therefore the camera would take a 1.60th seconds shot every 2 seconds :) As for the flicker, yes try something other than Aperture Priority. I just thinking if the aperture is set and the light changes it could cause flickering.
@@publicaccess3767 Oh I see, that bit was to quickly show how you would change to manual mode and a longer exposure time for a night lapse. I see the confusion, I probably should have fully elaborated and shown how you would change the intervals like I had done earlier in the video for the very quick day time demo in intelligent auto mode. Basically for a 6 second exposure you would set you intervals to 6 seconds, and then set the number of shots you want to take in the column below that. Depending on how dark it is and what you're shooting, sometimes you need to play about with exposure time to see what works best. e.g. if you wanted to show a ton of stars with a wide lens you might want to take continuous 20-30 second exposures to bring out lots of stars in the image, but you may want to reduce this is the stars are trailing or there is too much noise or light pollution. I hope that helps and sorry for the confusion.
p.s Also for long exposures more than say a couple of seconds, you need to use the mechanical shutter. Sadly all the Pany's I've tried wont let you use electronic silent shutter for long exposures. I'm currently playing around with a GH3. I sold the G85 a while ago but I do miss some of the features like the in camera time lapse and IBIS.
@@Astrolavista Okay. I understand. I haven't tried night sky Time-Lapses yet, but now I know how! I've gotten some decent still Milky Way shots with my G85. I have the 25mm, f1.7 and it works pretty well for that. I think I tried to keep the shutter speed down to 15 seconds to avoid blurring the stars.
Hi, maybe you can help me, I made the timelapse video but when I transferred it to my computer from the sdcard all i got were the stills, the video stayed on the card. Is that normal for the Panasonic g85 or did I do something wrong?
Hi Carl, did the timelapse play as a video whilst in camera? It should play on your PC, mine did. Have you selected [All Files] on the drop down menu when you open up the SD card on your computer? Maybe you're limited to viewing a certain file type because of a menu setting?
@@Astrolavista I figured out what i did wrong, i forgot to press ok once i chose the frame rate and all that. I made a new timelapse video and it transferred ok to my computer. Thanks for your help, much appreciated!
Yes, that's ideally right. however, If you don't have a tripod you can balance the camera on a secure surface, anything that keeps the camera very still should work.

Ah! Thanks.
No worries!
One thing I didn't say (or do myself even) is to set aspect ratio to 16/9 so you don't get the black bars either side of the video.
I have done that so many times... face-palmed myself after every time!! 🤔
Thanks! Really helped me!
Why can't I take a shutter speed longer than 1 second? tell me please
I think you might have the electronic shutter selected. Try selecting the mechanical shutter.
@@Astrolavista I think so, too. But in M mode, changing the shutter mode is not available, I can't interact with this setting

Thanks I was eating so much time trying to find out how to create video after the fact

@@Astrolavista At 4:30 in the video, you are changing the shutter speed.

The camera should always be on a tripod when doing a timelapse.
Yes, that's ideally right. however, If you don't have a tripod you can balance the camera on a secure surface, anything that keeps the camera very still should work.
By the way your video is very informative. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
