But doing a nature time lapse will require a significant time commitment. For me, waiting wasn’t that bad since I was playing Mario Kart.

Hook up your calculator (or intervalometer) to your camera and press start.ħ) Wait. I set mine to fire in 10,000 TI-83 cycles, which worked out to be around every 26 seconds.Ħ) Hook em up together. See the links below for the instructable. I used a TI-83 calculator as my intervalometer. This shot is just to make sure the images are properly exposed using the manual settings.ĥ) Setup your intervalometer. Only do this if you have easy access to the viewfinder, and use a remote to avoid camera shake.

Basically make sure any auto features are not on auto, otherwise you’ll get a nasty flickering (like I did).Ĥ) Take another test shot. Set the shutter speed to what you used in step 2. Use your test shots exposure information to set the aperture.

I knew I wanted about a 2 second exposure, so I took my test shot in Shutter Priority mode.ģ) Adjust the camera settings. Take a test shot of the area to calculate your exposure and to set the focus.
