The HDR Timelapse mode combines the time-lapse with HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode. In other words, this mode allows you to make time-lapse videos with HDR photos per frame. It has 7 parameters.
Movement: This parameter defines how much the device should rotate. Clicking the rectangular box on the screen opens the Angle Setup screen. The point A defines the starting position and the point B defines ending position of the movement. You can select the points by clicking the circle buttons on the bottom and change the position by using the slider on the top. Once the position is changed, an orange button will appear to save the new position.
CCW : Counterclockwise (Slide in this direction and your Capsule will rotate counterclockwise)
CW : Clockwise (Slide in this direction and your Capsule will rotate clockwise)
CW : Clockwise (Slide in this direction and your Capsule will rotate clockwise)
Frames Per Second (FPS) : This parameter defines the amount of individual video frames that your final video will have, per second. For a standard video, you can set this value to 24 or 30.
Play Time : This parameter defines the duration of the final video you want to create.
Interval : This parameter defines the duration between each shot. The Interval may have a value from 13 milliseconds up to 100 hours.
Center : This parameter shows the shutter speed value that will sit in the middle of the sequence.
EV(+-) : This parameter shows how many stops each change will be.
Frame : This parameter shows how many pictures are to be taken for an HDR photo.
How does it work?
Once you set all the parameters, click the Start button on the lower right corner. A status screen will open and your camera will start moving. You can see all the progress in the status screen. The status screen shows the interval and the exposure progress for each shot, the total movement progress, the elapsed time and the remaining time, In addition, the total number of photos taken is displayed instantly in the lower left corner.
Tip #1: The HDR Timelapse mode has control over the shutter speed only if your camera is set to BULB mode. This is the only way of achieving custom exposures. If you do not set your camera to BULB mode, the exposure value of your camera will be valid and you will not get photos with the exposure set on the MIOPS MOBILE app.
Tip #2: The interval must be long enough to allow the camera to save the photo on the memory card. Otherwise, the number of photos taken will be less than shown on the screen.
Tip #3: The shutter speed you can achieve over the shutter release port is limited. In most cameras, you cannot get faster than 1/30th of a second from the cable release port. Because of this limitation, some EV(+-) and Frame values will be disabled for some Center values.
