I have a Canon R5 mirrorless camera. My book tells me it will do everything necessary to generate a time lapse video! I set up my Camera with the 24-105 lens on my porch. The porch affords protection from possible rain.
For the first video, I set the lens to 24mm and aimed east. I set it up to take 720 images at 10 second intervals and start it up around 12 noon. 2 hours later it is done, and the SD card has an MP4 file on it -- 260 megabytes worth, and it plays in 24 seconds.
For the second video I aimed south and zoomed in on one cloud that was rapidly developing. I took 320 images every 6 seconds. This yielded a 120M file that plays in 10 seconds.
This is simply a proof of concept exercise, framed to have as much sky as possible. So, the saguaros are leaning, as is the pillar for my porch.I have no trouble using the chrome browser to view this, but if you (dear reader) have problems -- or success -- I would be happy to hear about it. I am surprised at the amount of cloud motion. Nothing was noticeable just setting up the shoot.
