Timelapse

Capture a sequence of photos at a regular interval to create time-lapse footage.

Setting Up a Timelapse

Configure these settings before starting:

Setting	Default	What it does
Interval (ms)	2000	Time between captures in milliseconds. 2000 = one photo every 2 seconds.
Duration (s)	60	How long the timelapse runs in seconds.
Prefix	timelapse	Filename prefix. Files are saved as timelapse_001.jpg, timelapse_002.jpg, etc.

The Est. Photos field updates as you type, showing how many images will be captured based on your interval and duration.

Camera settings

Same controls as Preview mode — Gain, Exposure, Red Gain, and Blue Gain. All settings are saved and restored automatically. See Preview & Capture for details on each setting.

Running a Timelapse

Click Start Timelapse. The sidebar switches to the active state:

• ● RECORDING — red pulsing indicator alongside the Stop button
• Elapsed — time since start, formatted as minutes and seconds
• Current Photo — frame counter as images are captured
• The main area shows the latest captured frame as it arrives

Click Stop Timelapse at any time to end the session early. All captured images up to that point are kept.

Histogram

An RGB histogram overlay appears in the lower-right of the latest frame preview. Click Hist to collapse or expand it.

Where Your Photos Go

Timelapse images are saved to a folder named after your prefix (e.g., timelapse/) inside the photos directory. Browse them in the Photos view — the thumbnail view shows timelapse folders as a grid of frames.
