Depending on the type of object of the time lapse shoot, you need to decide an interval, after which the followings shots will be taken. A time lapse of a flower blooming in the morning could happen in 5 hours, for example, so you need a sufficient number of frames to make up a good length time lapse. For a good five second time lapse shot, you would need a good 125 to 150 separate photos if you want a video with a frame rate of 30 fps. In this case, you would need to take a photo every 2 minutes of the object.

Once that is decided, turn on the camera's image stabilisation feature and use a two-second timer to prevent any shake that might occur with you press the trigger. Now it's just a matter of time and patience and clicking the photos in time after every two minŽutes. Make sure you have a sufficiently large memory card and the battery fully charged so you don't have to disŽturb the camera anytime. Remember, you don't need to take photos at 8 MP resolutions. Anything up to 3 MP should be good enough-the fmal result is going to be a video, not a slideshow. Don't change any settings betwe,en photos.
