Nikon D3200 - Time lapse software

post #1 of 7
10/23/12 at 5:19pm
Thread Starter 
So basically as the title asks, is there any software out there (win 7) that would allow me to automate a time lapse of some sort? Or a built in feature that I'm not aware of? I'm basically looking to do a time lapse over the course of a few hours, with it set to about 1 shot per 10 seconds, so simply manually doing it isn't an option.

I'm somewhat of a noob in this area, so any suggestions are welcome.

/edit

This is to actually take the pictures - I.e. automate pressing the shutter button.

If you have Sony Vegas, you can make a video speed up x2, x3, x4 (from my knowledge), and then speed that up again or slow it a bit to your preferences. I'm really not that sure about this, though.

To take the photos or to put the photos into a movie??
To take the photos you can use an intervalometer/ interval remote control.
And for software use ffmpeg.
Take a look at this.

Sorry, should have been more specific - this is to take the pictures.

I'll look into the interval remote.

You can either buy one such as here.
Or build one using infrared if you are a DIY kind of a guy.

On the side note, not to bring flame here, Canon user can use a TI-83/4 calculator and a 2.5mm cable as a intervalometer.
Also Canon included software, the EOS Utility, that use a computer to take time lapses. Dont know if there a Nikon equivalent.

Not sure yet (if the 3200 is supported) but I'm going to give ControlMyNikon a shot. (not listed as supported or not supported on their website)

Probably worth it to just download the trial and see.

Get an external intervalometer. No laptop or phone needed.

It says it's for the D90 but the same adapter applies for the D3200. You can call them and look it up. I've had this one for quite a while and I've been very happy with it. Get some double edge Velcro tape and mount it on the leg of the tripod and done!
