- To me the time-lapse video in all videos is super super important. I have, in the past, used a pretty cheap Panasonic TM700 to record time lapses of anything that I have done. More often than not, I end up not using them. But when I do use them, they are indispensable. They are excellent to mark the passage of time.
I have a blog on this
jacquesgaines.com/the-importan...
The TM700 is getting old and its soul function in my bag is to be for time lapse. My assistant even calls it that now. Enter the new kid on the block. The Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 bridge camera
I have owned the Panasonic DMC FZ1000 for a little over nine months. It is a great peace of gear that compliments, sometimes matches, and surpasses my current professional photo video gear. It also offers a load of on board fucntions that I believe to be super important in the creation of great video and photographic content.
In this video, I go through how to optimize the on board time-lapse functions. I also show some of the little hidden gems of the on board timelapse. I navigate through the camera menu system to show you where this camera shines.

Wow - great video - many thanks. I can't wait to try it out!
Awesome video. Exactly what i was looking for.
Excellent presentation. Thanks so much.
Good video easy to listen to, no waffle! Great!
Thank you alot! Helped me on my FZ300 :)
Excellent tutorial thank you
Good point about using the creative modes especially if you’re not into a lot of post-production work. A small tip I’ve learnt for more motion blur having a longer shutter speed (1 second) can help.
AWESOME and SUPER COOL VIDEO....
Thank you very much!
WOW. I have this camera and have yet to use this function. Thank you for this tutorial.
+Bill Durling
You are going to love it! It is really really excellent on all levels.
Great fun with the G85! 😄
Good job Jacques. Very helpful.
Glad to be of service
thank you I can't wait to create the video :)
fantastic video thank you!
Cool glad you like
I really like your videos and specially your video footages! I just bought my FZ1000 today and I already looove it! Please, please, pleasee make a tutorial with the slow motion mode! Would be so great!
I could talk about how to get the best out of this camera for sure. I will post something but cannot promise you when. For now I can tell you that you are best to film in 60p and conform to a 30p timeline. 120fps quality is iffy at best. Still an absolutely amazing camera. You will not be disapointed
thank
you Great help
I used the reverse sequence to put together a timelapse of a puzzle. It took a couple of days to build the puzzle, then my wife and I just disassembled and photographed that making it easier. Or a little cheat. Thanks for all the informative videos.
No problem
I just order the Panasonic Luimix FZ300. I ordered it mainly for the video functions. I will be using the camera for youtube reviews mainly, however I may take a picture every now and then.
Have you used the 300 before or have any advice? Thanks a million for creating these videos.
+TECH IN THE BATHROOM Actually no. I have never used the fz300. I think the main difference between it and the FZ1000 is sensor size. the fz300 is a 1/2.3 inch whereas the fz1000 is a 1 inch
You may use the reverse feature to create a time-lapse video from day to night or night to day.
Excellent! Thx!
+SHOCKPROOF™
You are welcome. By the way. Are you really a trademark?
Hello Sir! How do you set your FZ1000 to zoom-rezoom mode - can't find that option in mine. Thank you.
Thanks Jacques for your video, what time for interval do you suggest for a video shot inside, people building something, for about 5 hours ? thanks a lot
Sounds like a job for between 15 and 30 second intervals
great video
Thank you
What do you suggest for an interval for say, a gradual sunset or sunrise timelapse, if you know you willl only be using a single battery?
If I close the LCD while the timelapse is being captured, that should shut the screen off to save power, right?
I believe that almost all intervals should be under 30seconds. If you are doing a full day, things might be different. Sunrose or sunset I would go anywhere between 12 and 20 seconds
You do not have to worry about the LCD it shuts itself off anyway.
One instance that I can think of for using reverse would be if you want to show the tide coming in but it had just started going instead. Record it anyways and show it in reverse.
Good point
Can you use a seperate intervalometer to take the pictures but create a time lapse video in camera? How do you do it or do you have to use a seprate software program in a computer to create it?
I believe so but with the features you have here what would be the point?
@@JacquesGaines Your right but I was just wondering. Wouldn't want to buy one if it didn't work. Might offer some other advantages like a remote shutter( specially with non corded wireless intervalometer) or a few second delay to the timelapse
Looks like I may have to upgrade .I have the old FZ100 No time lapse option.. How well does this camera work with night sky time lapse ?? Milky Way etc..
Hmm. you might want to go with a camera with a better lens. Opened up the lens is mushy and closed down it has a ton of diffraction
@@JacquesGaines Thanks for the heads up..Any suggestions ??
Is it possible for you to show me how to adjust my Panasonic FZ-1000 for shooting silky waterfalls and river water ?
It's difficult to me because i have bought this camera a few weeks ago..
What basicly i need to know is : do i need to set a time lapse if i've set a 4sec. shutter speed allready for waterfall shooting and how to do this?
Thanks in advance!
Here is my humble opinion. To do the silky waterfall effect you need long exposures when the camera does take a picture. Aperture and ISO might not be enough to get the silk look. Therefore, you will need a really strong ND filter to be able to expose longer than natural eye opening (example 1/4 second or even 1 second) As for your interval, I have never done the waterfall thing but my guess is something rather short. 4 seconds seems reasonable. To get the water to look like cotton though. Experiment with long exposures and an ND filter.
Thanks for the reaction!
I'll try wthout a nd filter and i'm pretty covinced that is possible to get a good resolts.. may be i'll try 1.5 second then 2.5 and finally 4 seconds..
I have experimented with time lapse on my fz1000 and I am having trouble getting the lense to resume at exactly the same spot on anything other than wide angle when I set an interval over 30s when camera turns off to save power.
Lens seems to resume at a slightly different spot every time it switches back on making the resulting video jump in and out rapidly on playback. I have tried the zoom resume function. Have you experienced this or do I have a faulty unit?
Thanks in advance.
Yes I have. A bit of the nature of the beast. I have whole timelapses that screwed up because of that very problem.I believe the key is to go in and take power saving off in the menus. Let know if that helps
Jacques Gaines Photography thanks for the idea however if you mean "economy/sleep mode" it doesn't stop lens retraction/sleep in timelapse.
I spoke to Panasonic and all they came up with in the end is that I can return the
camera ):-/
I see several others have been annoyed by this "feature" and one user suggested to use stop motion as there is a 1min delay before lens retraction.
One of the main reasons why I bought this camera was for the assumed versatility of the timelapse.
Looks like I'm stuck with wide angle which isn't too bad appart wear and tear on lens system/motor.
If only they left the darn lens in place during time lapse intervals what were they thinking since most people would be using external power for such a task?
Such an easy firmware mod to give us the option but they won't do it unless a ton of people complain. >:-f
Are you serious. There has got to be a workaround
Jacques Gaines Photography don't suppose you may have found a workaround to lens retraction issue at all? I have tried everything I can think of including asking for a solution from Panasonic engineers because I bought this camera for the time lapse abilities.
@@mattburrows2615 I've run into the same problem trying to shoot the plant time lapse video. Horrible, all Lumix FZ series and LX100 cameras seem to behave the similar way. I don't know why Panasonic engineers neglect this, since it's easy to be fixed through a minor firmware update. What a shame!
Help! I've created a time lapse, but I haven't created video at the same time...is there a way to do this in the camera afterwards??
Yes! I believe it is there in the video. Take another look
how do i make the camera to put together a video if i didnt (i fucked up somehow) do it right away?
I am not quite sure I understand this question
Hey, nice Video, I was wondering how I could lets say take a Picture every 30 seconds but expose every single Picture for 20 seconds for a nightlapse? Is there an internal way of making this happen? Thansk in advance
Your exposure settings are done with the camera settings itself. The rest is just making sure that the interval between shots is more than 21 seconds
Jacques Gaines Photography okay so just as I thought. Thanks for answering this quickly :)
Rotation of the earth🥺
I am so frustrated, I cannot stop a timelapse once it has started. You mention pressing the shutter release but no matter which button I press or dial I turn it just keeps on shooting images. The only way I can stop it is to switch the dial out of timelapse mode, then I get a message saying timelapse has ended. If I go to playback mode I can watch the images sequentially but no option is ever given to make a video... So how can I create a timelapse video? 😩
Okay I worked it out! On my camera (FZ2000) it is the F5 button, although this is not explained in the manual... and sometimes it requires a few jabs of the button if the camera is busy shooting and writing images to the SD card.
what is the time limit for timelapse on this camera? i have a canon sx 70 but it only allow 30 minutes of shooting that result in 10 seconds timelapse. i need a camera that can shoot timelapse until the battery runs out
No time limit. It works in frames. It goes pretty far as well. I think you can do like 9999 frames. You will need to get a dc coupler. Stay within the 30 second intervals though
@@JacquesGaines thank you for the detailed reply
Reverse time lapse if you want to put something back together
When my FZ1000 finishes the time-lapse sequence it turns off. How do I tell the camera to make the stills into a video?
It should not turn off. Are you using battery power? Because it sounds like your camera is powering down because of loos of power
I am on battery, but there was plenty of battery left after it turned off.
What are your intervals at because I know that if the interval is over 30 seconds it shuts off between frames
The interval is set to 30 seconds. But the entire sequence is complete before I try to make the video
Shutting down the timelapse isnt that obvious. I blelieve that you have to press the shutter button. I do not think that I can help you
Can I set the Sutter speed and iso for time laps image
You can set those all just before and even after your time-lapse has started
Is there a way to only keep the video but not keep all the images?
The only way I can think of is to render in camera and delete the images off the sd card later on. This is a good thing because once you learn how to treat image sequences in After Effects you will be happy to have the images laying around. If it is a question of space, just make sure that your images are the same size as the video you will be rendering.
This camera is so frustrating, if you didn't select make a video now it will create a sequence and you cannot create a video later on, i've had this camera for a whole year and never had a successful timelapse that last longer than 5 minutes
Actually no. If you do not create a video now, you have to download the photos and render an image sequence in Premiere or After Effects. Have you tried that?. The most important thing with this camera is to have a good power supply to last the whole time of the timelapse.
I know its a little late but you can actually do it right from the camera. If you go to the set of photos and make sure you are on the first one, hit down til it reads sequential play, switch your camera to the timelaspe mode(on the dial). Now hit the menu button and scroll down to the last option(little square with a play button) if you scroll through that you'll come across a Time lapse video option. Hit that and find your first photo and select it. It will ask if you want to make it a video. I hope this helps!
@@SaraHajny haven't touched my camera sine, COVID, I'll try again tmr haha. Thank you and stay safe :)
@@beautiful_life8823 Yea I hear ya. I havent picked mine up much either but I took a time laspe of the meteor shower last night and accidentally exited out of it before making a video. Its a bit of a pain to find it since the camera has SOOO many settings. But I hope it helps. I love this camera so much, it never lets me down haha
I hope you are staying safe too! Good luck!
@@SaraHajny Yeah your tips are really helpful to thank you again, and wow where are you from? Time lapsing a meteor sounds like a once in a lifetime opportunity haha, I'm sure you've got some beautiful footage?
Hey im an artist i do hyper realism i want to get the best camera for my art i draw in pencil so black and white and 1080p is probably just fine my budget is up to 200 pounds is there any you now that will be cheap like this and do the job i do need it withought batteries like you did here as i draw up to 200 hrs so il be using it 2 hrs at a time :) great video btw!
+Sarah Trebilcock oh I need time lapse!!
+Sarah Trebilcock
Thank you for the compliment on the video.
OK I just used the currency converter and according to them, you roughly have around 360$ Canadian for a long term timelapse capture device. So you have to forget the FZ1000. However, 80% of the timelapses I do are with an old Panasonic TM700. If you could find one used it could be a good thing. Here is a link to a video where I used the TM700. The quality is relatively ok and the timelapse setup is decent. This camera cost me about 150 pounds used and it has saved me a million times

oh wow ok it does zoom in ok as i have to film close to my paper :D ur realy helpfull thanks!
i hope i can find one somewere
wow i think this on is rare its up to 800 pounds on amazon i found Panisonic lumix dmcfz100 for 1 50 pounds and this one Panasonic HC-V250EB-K Full HD Camcorder i hope u dont mind me asking about them ? or if you now a place thats cheaper and in stock for tm700 as i think its hard to get now :D
i see 1 on ebay so i gotta book my stall on walking dead comic con next month so after that should have the money il show you when i do the video thanks!
which lens is that?
That I am filming with or that is on the FZ1000
i wanted to know about 25-100 lens? can you send me a link to that lens?
I know nothing of the 25-100. The lens on the FZ2500 is a fixed 25-480 eqivalent
I'm selling mine on eBay ! Was a great camera but time to move on
Yes. I did the same. Do you want to stay in the bridge world or move on?
Whatever camera You have You always have the same weakest link.......battery :))
Shooting landscape time lapse requires special construction....tested power bank + voltage¤t stabilizer + battery coupler + all cabling. And stil thera are cameras which do not cooperate with power banks at all.
What then, I ask ?
Battery pack with normal wall mount plug. DC coupler adapter into the camera. You could have your timelapse go all day if you like.

Hope that helps
I use converted XIAOMI 20.000mAh 2,1A power bank which lasts for maximum 12 hrs ! What do You do when You are in the wild for a couple of days ? Your wall mount plug is useless high in the mountains :)))
The only solution is another power bank, and another, and another......
True dat. My workflow assumes plus access at the end of the day and no concern for wieght issues. Sounds like an interesting workflow. You go out for days and days in the mountains? Whatever you are doing it sounds cool. Please elaborate
Hunting for that magic moments of perfect, low light requires shooting at dawn and sunset. You must spend night there or start Your climbing very early to be at the spot on time. I prefer to be on the top all night. When You have clear skies You also have a chance to do an awesome astrophotography session ! Winter is out of question of course ! I am not a crazy man :))
gadda33 folding lightweight solar panel to charge power bank? You can get some good ones these days.
Need to describe miniature effect better. That told me nothing.
OK
That's a very basic timelapse compared to some other cameras.
Excellent and reliable but yes the video is aging for sure
