Stop motion Video possible? How?

[Vega]

Title says it all. Can our cameras do stop action video or stills?

Do you mean... can you snap a still while the video is running?

More like slowing down the frame rate to one shot per second, so that when its played back its a fast paced playback.

As far as I know, the slowest setting is 5 seconds per photo in jped

Yeah, was looking to a way to do 2-3 second per. Thanks

As far as I know for photos, the only way to do this is the old fashioned way. Position the phantom where you want it, snap a photo, move the item or wait for movement, snap another and so on until you have enough shots to make a stop animation. Then you still have to assemble it all into a video. It's a neat idea but would be a very laborious project.

It seems like what you call "stop motion" is actually time-lapse, which the P3S can do. I never played with it so I can't give you any pointers, but the option is there.

Thanks, will keep playing with it.

You might look into Microsoft's Hyperlapse Pro program. $50 bucks, but it does a good job. Even has stabilization to correct for "jitters".

Nice find. May go this route. I'll give it a free trial. Thank you
