Not sure. Have't used it much and already brokr. Will cost me $150 for repairs. Would buy another camera. Shelley

Yes. But beware that like any digital camera, short interval time lapse requires a lot of memory space and will put a significant demand on the power supply. I would suggest an external battery or solar panel if you want to do this. I tried mine on 5 second time lapse overnight and burned up a new set of batteries in a few hours.

not sure what you mean by time lapse but you can probably download a pdf version of the owners manual from the panasonic web site. i was pleased with the battery life. on the rafting trip shot 50-100 pix a day turning camera on and off all day long + videos on no more than one charge. recharge is fairly quick and you can buy spare batteries online.

I believe it has a built in protocol that takes images from the bottom camera and compares the most current image to the previous frame. This unfortunately causes some drift over time. Playing around some you should be able to have it use an initial image and use that one as a reference for all other frames taken and later time points.

Hi, no it can record only in time lapse mode, means speeding up the motion, not slowing down.

Yes, there's a button on the back of the camera with a clock face inscribed on it. Push this button and a menu will appear on the screen asking if you want a 2 or a 10 second delay. Works great.

This is a great camera but there are so many features I don't know them all yet. I'm almost certain I remember reading that it has a self-timer, but I haven't used that so I don't know if it applies to more than one pic.

You could set the time lapse function to take pics only during darkness hours if you wish. It will not take motion activated pics when it is in time lapse mode. It will use up batteries quite fast in the time lapse mode if you have it take pics frequently, like every 30 seconds or a minute. A set of AA batteries will be used up in about 4 days if the cam is set to take a pic every 30 seconds from daylight to dark, in my experience.

The editing software from Sony does not have the capability to create time laps video. You will have to use a competitors video editing software.

Sorry Bob, never did time lapse photos, can say that the videos are clear, camera works well, and i enjoy watching all the wild life. MM

nope. This doesn't do time ie. is not a stop watch. It only counts "times of something/laps".

Does this unit have an internal timer so you can set it up to record while you are gone?

The short answer is NO! Good solid, entry level slider. Works well for my purposes. I don't use it for time lapse. I shoot time lapse on a fixed tripod with an intervalometer. If I was going to use a slider for time lapse it would have to be motorized and more professional grade than this unit.

There's no time lapse per se. But there's a mini mode. While in this mode the camera drops frames at certain intervals which results in very fast footage. However the the top and bottom part of the video will be blurred creating a special effect which is basically tilt-shift. The latest crop of Panasonic dedicated consumer cams -- in case you are interested -- does have the time lapse function though.

There is not any item that I know of but there is an app for the phone through the app store that will automatically make a video time lapse. I have not had a chance to use it yet but searching the internet about the app might be able to answer the question for you.

Yes, I believe that it can be programmed for time lapse photography at pre-set time intervals through existing firmware. I use it on my quadcopter.
