TH-cam is such an international place, if you wouldnt have mentioned that your english wasnt perfect, I wouldnt have thought about it. Thanks for the amazing tutorial! :D
I'm a big fan of a German accent speaking calmly, assuredly and knowledgeably. It's strangely soothing, considering that German, to non speakers, has a reputation for being a bit, well, harsh. Part of the reason why I love Werner Herzog😄 Keep up the good work.
I have a problem that when I set the interval to 1 second the camera slows down to 1.5 or 2 seconds per picture. Is my memory card write speed to low or do you have the same problem?
It sucks that this isn't included with the a6000, or really any one of the Alpha cameras as the a6500 and on aren't cheap (and I'm talking about just the camera body).
Hi, ich habe mir vor kurzem die Sony A6000 gekauft und informiere mich richtig über alle möglichen Dinge, die ich mit der Kamera alles machen kann :) Was für einen genauen Filter hast du dir denn gekauft für die Kit-Lens? Würde mich auf jeden Fall interessieren :)
Sarah W Hab die A6000 auch erst seit ein paar Monaten und probiere auch alle Möglichen Dinge aus :D. Diese Filter usw. lass ich am Anfang mal weg weil man meiner Meinung nach auch so extrem viel aus der Kamera rausholen kann.
Great tutorial Ich .... one question though I was going to order the ND1000 filter but not sure which one to order though. The standard lens I have is the 16-50 Sony lens (40.5mm) anything I might want to look at please.
i cant even download the app. the software keeps crashing everytime i try to install it. Has anyone had the same issue? ive tried on three different computer but still cant get it to download! also, wth is up with having to buy time lapse seperately??! every other camera comes with all functions preloaded.
The website of Sony is poorly programmed. You have to use "Internet Explorer" and I even had to deactivate Avast Antivirus (I know, bad combination :D) to be able to download the app.
Does it keep crashing, or does it not let you actually complete the purchase, giving you an error message? If you get an error message, its because you cant actually buy it using a credit card, you have to add funds to your sony wallet, then purchase it with money already in your account.
I have a question though. I tried the time-lapse app for a Night -> Morning timepalse but for some reasons camera did not adjust exposure as the light increased when the sun came out. I went to Custom Settings and under AE -- "Lock(AEL)", I selected "LO". Tried it twice, once with full manual mode and another one with Aperture Priority Mode. Same result. What am I missing? Any feedback will be highly appreciated. Thanks!
Hii Ich Du, tolles Video! Einige Fragen die für mich (bisher = Part 1 Übrig bleiben) Bei Sunset/Sunrise fotografie, auf welchen Wert soll dann AEL Tracking gestellt werden? LO MID HIGH? Wie soll ich bei Unter/Überbelichtung mit ND Filter reagieren? Belichtzungszeit ändern(ändert ja automatisch die Dargestellten Bewegungen, oder dann lieber mit der Blende etwas kleiner gehen?) Hast du "rule of thumb" bei den Blenden für andere Timelaps Szenarien, nicht nur für Landschaften. Mich Interessieren vor allem Sunset, Wolken und Sternenfotografie. Danke schonmal! Weiter so -mein ABO hast du!
Hi Tobi peh, bei AEL Tracking kann man keine pauschale Einstellung nennen. Bei HIGH kann es aber schneller zum Flackern kommen, da die Kamera sehr stark auf Umgebungslicht reagiert (wenn sich z.B. kurzzeitig eine Wolke vor die Sonne schiebt). Also vielleicht lieber erst mal mit LOW oder MID probieren. Der ND Filter macht das Bild Dunkler, brauchst Du also nur bei drohender Überbelichtung. Wenn es trotz Filter zu hell ist, würde ich erst die Blendenzahl erhöhen, erst wenns dann immer noch zu hell ist die Belichtungszeit verkürzen. Wenn Du bei Nacht ein Timelapse aufnimmst und das Bild wird zu Dunkel einfach die Belichtungszeit verlängern. Die Belichtungszeit kann natürlich nicht länger sein als das Intervall der Bilder. Streng genommen ist Sunset, Wolken und Sternenfotografie auch Landschaftsfotografie. Die Objekte sind ja weit weg von der Kamera. Deshalb ändert sich hier nichts. Anders ist es nur bei Sternen. Hier brauchst du ein lichtstarkes Objektiv und solltest eine Blendenzahl von F 2 oder niedriger nehmen, mind. 20 sec Belichtungszeit und ISO 800-1600. Empfehlen kann ich für Sterne das Samyang 12mm. Hoffe ich konnte Dir helfen :)
So I followed your video to shoot a time lapse and it works great. However, is there a way to import the timelapse video to my PC without having to go through 3rd party software? Can I just import the timelapse I captured?
Your information is succinct and to the point, your delivery mannerism is welcoming, and your command of the English language is a delight. Thank you very much for this very instructive series.
This is an excellent tutorial - very precise and clear well timed English with plenty of valuable information. I am English and I find that this is easier to listen to and understand clearly. You have a great manner of presenting your information very clearly and calmly. Thank you
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this tutorial. Your Timelapse are amazing, I’ve done lots on my phone but obviously they are not great. Can’t wait to get out with my a6300 and try some with your tips. Currently living in Abu Dhabi so going to do one of here. Will share my link once done 🙌
What a great tutorial! Very well put together and great use of examples throughout the video. I just purchased a Sony a6000 to attach to my Zhiyun Crane v2. The Crane features some good time-lapse features as well to allow for movement from the gimbal. I'm going out to practice some more shots now based on your tutorial.
Thanks you very much for this nice tutorial. Please, a6000 is using silent (electronic) shutter for time-lapse? In your video I don't hear shutter. And another question: if I will use 1 second exposure for smooth effect, how to do if i want use the slider. I must synchronise shooting and movement of slider. There exist solution? Thank you very much!
Ich Du thanks, ok really only a6300/6500 has electronic shutter. So you are using mechanical shutter for time-lapse. Do you have a problem with usury of shutter? Or you will only buy another when failure of shutter happens? I m searching a good camera for create time-lapse. May by buying Nikon D70 can be a good option. But it's a little big.
+Mike Miller Freut mich, dass es dir gefallen hat. Eine deutsche Version ist leider erst mal nicht geplant. Du kannst mich aber jederzeit fragen, wenn etwas nicht ganz verständlich war.
Fabulous job - congratulation. A+++. One quick question, I noticed you ended up with a series of photos in TIF format after the Photoshop edits. But then in Blender you bring in PNGs.... Did I miss a step, as I did not see the conversion from TIF to PNG ? Thank you.
Hi Ich Du, I love this series of video's you have produced! Thank you very much. I will come back to it for reference in future when i take the camera out. I had one previous issue when trying to shoot time-lapses on my a6000, the battery was running flat after a couple hundred shots ? is this normal, i also found i could not charge the camera simultaneously as it would go into PC mode, is there a way to turn this off?
Hi Anees Anwar, did you turn on "Dim display brightness while shooting" in the timelaps app menu? This might solve your problem. But I have never tried to charge the camera while shooting so I can't help you with that.
When you shoot in Manual Mode and set ISO to 100, you already locked in the exposure. So how does Time Lapse App does exposure tracking? Am I missing something?
Hi, I am brand new to photography (since the film Canon AE-1 days) and so happy with my Sony a6000. I really would like to take timelapse of the monsoon storms we get here in Arizona and your video has me really excited. Unfortunately I'm having a hard time finding a ND1000 ND filter for my Sony SEL50F18 50mm f/1.8 Lens. Is 50mm an odd size or am I just not understanding filter and lens size compatibility?
Hello Chris, the Sony SEL50F18 is great lens for portrait's. I use it too. But it's not the best choice for a landscape time-lapse. I would recommend you to use a wide angle lens for this. Either try the kit SEL1650 or (better choice) the Samyang 12mm F2.0 (sold in the USA under the name "Rokinon 12mm F2.0"). There should be ND filter for every one of these lenses but you can also try to use an adapter. For the SEL50F18 you need an ND filter with 49mm and for the Rokinon 12mm F2.0 an ND filter with 67mm
I'm just getting the a6000 so great. Thanks for the tips. Your english is fine BTW. Somewhat different Japanese accent tho, (-; . Will be picking up some of your accessories.
Great tutorial Ich .... one question though I was going to order the ND1000 filter but not sure which one to order though. The standard lens I have is the 16-50 Sony lens (40.5mm) anything I might want to look at please.
Hi Dean Hone, I don't have a filter for this lens. Best you go into a shop an try a few filter. If they don't change the color of the image they should be fine.
I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for creating this fantastic 4 part video tutorial. You are an excellent instructor and I highly recommend this 4 part tutorial to everyone interested in how to make a time lapse video. While visiting St. Louis this week I had a very nice view from my Hyatt hotel room on the 16th floor. I decided to experiment with my Sony a6000 and time lapse. After watching the first video, I downloaded the Time Lapse app for the a6000 and began shooting the time lapse right away. Thank you Ich Du for creating this TH-cam tutorial.
Im glad you liked it. The most encouraging thing are really not the subscriptions, the thumbs up or the views, it's the comments. And I wish good luck with your own time lapse videos!
How is the battery life when shooting time lapse with the a6000? I'm looking at the a6000 as a step up from my cell phone camera which I've used to take a few sunset time lapses of 1400+ images. Does the Sony app also limit you to only 990 images as well or is that just what's displayed?
Hallo! Vielen Dank dafür, dass du hier deine Erfahrungen teilst... mir hilft das weiter... Ich habe jetzt auch die Sony A6000 und wollte mit Timelaps beginnen... da ich meist auch im dunkeln/am Abend/bei Nacht fotografiere, würde ich gerne wissen, welche die Einstellungen du hierfür wählst? z. B. für die Straßenszene oder die Szene mit den Schiffen am Anfang deines Videos! DIE SIND SUPER GELUNGEN!!! Danke für deine Hilfe schon im Voraus! LG Waldi
Waldemar Schaffrinski, freut mich das dir mein Video gefällt. Es gibt leider keine perfekten Einstellungen, die immer funktionieren. Das ist sehr Motiv und Licht abhängig. Ein guter Startwert (für Zeitrafferaufnahmen) ist: ISO 100, Blende 16, Belichtung:2sec
Hallo SkylarveinYT, You should use a lense that allows you to use a low F-Stop number like F 2, exposure 20 sec and ISO of 800-1600. Depends all on your conditions.
Thanks for this! I notice you have the "Interval Priority" option set to off; how does that effect the timelapse? Also, in manual mode I don't think AE Tracking would work (it is only for PAS modes) so how do we do day-night shoots while having longer shutter speeds? Multiple takes?
Interval Priority will set the priority to the Interval. Which means the camera may ignore things like "Long-Exposure Noise Reduction" or AE Tracking if it intersects with the interval. You can use AE Trackin in manual mode but then you have to set ISO to Auto. Choose S, A or P depending on what is more important to you. If you want to lock the shutter speed, choose the S mode. Then the camera will adjust the f-stop to the light condition. You can also combine it with "Auto ISO"
Hi, Thanks for your tutorial. Could your answer one question. If you set AE tracking to LOW and set Manual mode (for example 1" f4.5 ISO100) how can camera change exposure? Maybe it need to set P/S/S mode for AE tracking?
Hi Oleg Lazhechnikov, in this combination the camera can't use AE tracking. If you want to shoot in manual mode you can set ISO to AUTO, this will allow the camera to make the image brighter but not darker. So if you want a consistent exposure of a sunrise you have to use either P/S/or A mode.
MrEye4get the shutter speed is reduced which makes the image way brighter and the filter is used to darken the image. Pretty much sunglasses for a lens. The shutter speed is reduced for motion blur

You pronounced 'mispronunciation' very well!
Great tutorial! You had some truly solid tips in here.
Can you provide a direct link for a ND1000 filter for the a6000 kit lens?
I have a problem that when I set the interval to 1 second the camera slows down to 1.5 or 2 seconds per picture. Is my memory card write speed to low or do you have the same problem?
That is possible
It sucks that this isn't included with the a6000, or really any one of the Alpha cameras as the a6500 and on aren't cheap (and I'm talking about just the camera body).
Fantastic how to! Thanks for the video.

My a6000 doesn’t have time lapse for some reason?
Great video which came in handy in 2024🎉☺️
Thank you so much for the tips! Really useful and very well-explained!
Well explained, thank you. I found it really helpfull. Cheers from Manchester
thank you for the tutorial, however i cant ajust in the time lapse menu the setting "fine" in to "raw". what did i do wrong?
Thanks for sharing. How did you install the app=
i cant even download the app. the software keeps crashing everytime i try to install it. Has anyone had the same issue? ive tried on three different computer but still cant get it to download! also, wth is up with having to buy time lapse seperately??! every other camera comes with all functions preloaded.
The website of Sony is poorly programmed. You have to use "Internet Explorer" and I even had to deactivate Avast Antivirus (I know, bad combination :D) to be able to download the app.
oh thanks mate, i mainly own a mac so i think im screwed :/ ill have to wait and hope they update the mac version.
Does it keep crashing, or does it not let you actually complete the purchase, giving you an error message? If you get an error message, its because you cant actually buy it using a credit card, you have to add funds to your sony wallet, then purchase it with money already in your account.
nah it just crashes. it opens the software for 2 seconds and then ded
Thanks for this tip. I wasn't sure why it was giving me an error after adding my credit card. lol
How about tge battery? Does the camera need external power supply?
How to play back video in Sony a 6000
I can't find this app to my sony a6000
Have a look in the video description :)
Ich Du Thanks, but I've looked, the app not appear.
There is a link: Sony Timelapse App
App doesn't work with current OS so this sucks.
excellent tutorial- thanks for all the information
Hi. I live outside the US, specifically in the Philippines. I can't purchase apps on my A6000. How can I get the timelapse app? Thank you.
Sorry, I don't know. Maybe you can try it by using a proxy server.
can you set intervalometer to take images with 10fps speed for 20 seconds with a timer delay, lets say, 2 minutes ?
Great video! You need a better solid tall tripod really. Can you put the time lapse settings in the description so we can see them?
thanks for that...can i mak 4k tim laps???
Great I am loving this series of videos..so clear and easy to understand follow! Well done!!
I have a question though. I tried the time-lapse app for a Night -> Morning timepalse but for some reasons camera did not adjust exposure as the light increased when the sun came out.
I went to Custom Settings and under AE -- "Lock(AEL)", I selected "LO".
Tried it twice, once with full manual mode and another one with Aperture Priority Mode. Same result. What am I missing?

Thanks!
Hello, i can't put the appli timelaps in 4k on my sony a6300.
Is it possible?
Don't know exactly what you mean, you can't play the timelapse video if put it back on your camera.
hi im trying to do a timelapse but everytime i press the middle part it would say function disabled....know how to fix this?
Could you explain this a bit more precisely? I don't know what exactly you are trying to do.
Ich Du I have the timelapse app but every time I tried to start or do timer it just says function disabled
You have to be in P, A, S or M mode.
Hii Ich Du,
tolles Video!
Einige Fragen die für mich (bisher = Part 1 Übrig bleiben)
Bei Sunset/Sunrise fotografie, auf welchen Wert soll dann AEL Tracking gestellt werden? LO MID HIGH?
Wie soll ich bei Unter/Überbelichtung mit ND Filter reagieren? Belichtzungszeit ändern(ändert ja automatisch die Dargestellten Bewegungen, oder dann lieber mit der Blende etwas kleiner gehen?)
Hast du "rule of thumb" bei den Blenden für andere Timelaps Szenarien, nicht nur für Landschaften. Mich Interessieren vor allem Sunset, Wolken und Sternenfotografie.
Danke schonmal! Weiter so -mein ABO hast du!

Educational! Thanks!
Great video! Can't wait for part 2 :)
i prefer to make the ISO on auto. the A6000 is so good it has a low noise even at 3000 ISO. that will solve the problem after the sun sets
So I followed your video to shoot a time lapse and it works great. However, is there a way to import the timelapse video to my PC without having to go through 3rd party software? Can I just import the timelapse I captured?
Can we enable silent shutter ?
Your information is succinct and to the point, your delivery mannerism is welcoming, and your command of the English language is a delight. Thank you very much for this very instructive series.
Does this use a silent schutter like shooting an actual video? Or will it use the mechanical shutter like the test shot?
a6000 dosen't have silent shutter :)
This is an excellent tutorial - very precise and clear well timed English with plenty of valuable information. I am English and I find that this is easier to listen to and understand clearly. You have a great manner of presenting your information very clearly and calmly. Thank you
Great info video! I have A6000 with time lapse & angle shift! Good stuff. I subbed.
Absolutely very well explained.
Thanks for your time
What if I dont have the app and dont want to purchase the app??
Sony a6500
Superb! I own A6000 and didn't even know it had time lapse function.
Thank you so much for taking the time to create this instructional video. Very helpful.
Thanks for the video Ich. I've got a Sony A5000 and would love to do a time lapse for my upcoming trip to Tokyo!
Thank you very much for this educational lesson. God bless you!
Thanks fo the tips!
How long does the battery last for in timelapse? Can you do a shoot over 6 hour period for example?
Thanks a lot for the detailed step by step video. Great content...
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this tutorial. Your Timelapse are amazing, I’ve done lots on my phone but obviously they are not great.

You are very good, easy to understand and thorough. Why don't you make more videos?
Thanks you very much for this nice tutorial. Please, a6000 is using silent (electronic) shutter for time-lapse? In your video I don't hear shutter.

Or you will only buy another when failure of shutter happens? I m searching a good camera for create time-lapse. May by buying Nikon D70 can be a good option. But it's a little big.
Well it takes a lot of shots to kill the shutter. So far I don't have any problems. But, yes I would feel better with an electronic one.
Great video
such a clear and helpful video! I learned a ton. Thank you!!
Did you really shoot the beginning bridge scene with the kit lens?
can we achieve the same result using the S&Q feature to get that motion blurr you get with slow shutter speed?
Schöne Anleitung. Sehr gut erklärt. Würde mich auch über eine deutsche Version freuen.
+Mike Miller Freut mich, dass es dir gefallen hat. Eine deutsche Version ist leider erst mal nicht geplant. Du kannst mich aber jederzeit fragen, wenn etwas nicht ganz verständlich war.
white balance on auto?
Yes why not? You can change it any time later on.
But for all those pictures it could be a little inconsistent?
If you use the same settings for all images it won't be inconsistent. You can see this in Part 2 of the tutorial.
I have the same camera but is there a reason why I don’t have the time-lapse on my camera?
Becquse you have to buy it for like 10 bucks
thank you very much for making these videos
Clear and helpful walkthrough! :)
can anyone help me install timelapse? im in ksa its not available here
Thanks for making this! I learned a lot.
Die 8% Akku haben mich die ganze Zeit ultra nervös gemacht :):):)
Danke für das Video!
Sehr nützliches Video :)
Gibt es dennoch eine andere Möglichkeit der Bezahlung? Nicht jeder verfügt heute über eine Kreditkarte..
Gruß
NOTICE: You have to BUY the app, and it costs $10.00 USD. This is ridiculous.
El-Em-En-Oh
Yeah you bought a camera an equipment for about 1000 bucks or more, 10 Dollars extra is wayyyyyyy too much and totally rediculous
Get a grip have you seen the results!!!
Fabulous job - congratulation. A+++. One quick question, I noticed you ended up with a series of photos in TIF format after the Photoshop edits. But then in Blender you bring in PNGs.... Did I miss a step, as I did not see the conversion from TIF to PNG ? Thank you.
No, no you didn't miss anything. I just had to improvise because I have already deleted the original files.
great tutorial.. Many many thanks!
Hi Ich Du, I love this series of video's you have produced! Thank you very much. I will come back to it for reference in future when i take the camera out.
I had one previous issue when trying to shoot time-lapses on my a6000, the battery was running flat after a couple hundred shots ? is this normal, i also found i could not charge the camera simultaneously as it would go into PC mode, is there a way to turn this off?
Hi Anees Anwar, did you turn on "Dim display brightness while shooting" in the timelaps app menu? This might solve your problem.
But I have never tried to charge the camera while shooting so I can't help you with that.
thanks man! it's really helpful to me :)
When you shoot in Manual Mode and set ISO to 100, you already locked in the exposure. So how does Time Lapse App does exposure tracking? Am I missing something?
It doesn't track the exposure. For this you have to use a different mode or auto ISO.
where i can download the app for timelapse? because on my a6000 there isn' t
Link is in the video description :)
thenk you for the quick answer :)
how do you make the shutter sound silent?
It's just the video. You can't make it silent. Only the a6300 has a silent shutter.
Hi, I am brand new to photography (since the film Canon AE-1 days) and so happy with my Sony a6000.

I'm from Germany I was only on holiday in Japan. That might explain the accent :-)
sure f22 would make the image less sharp, but adding a nd filter or any filter or even nd1000 would sure reduce the image quality too
Maybe in terms of color correctness, depending on the quality of your filter. But it won't make your image blurry.
Great tutorial Ich .... one question though I was going to order the ND1000 filter but not sure which one to order though. The standard lens I have is the 16-50 Sony lens (40.5mm) anything I might want to look at please.
Hi Dean Hone,
I don't have a filter for this lens. Best you go into a shop an try a few filter. If they don't change the color of the image they should be fine.
Superb tutorial, clearly explained. Any future videos on how to clean a6000 sensor & capturing star trail without app.
Clean sensor & capturing star trail is not planned so far. Currently I focus more on time lapse and editing.
Hey there. Thanks for sharing. When i go to Application, there's no Time-lapse option. What's wrong? Thanks in advance 🙂
You have to buy and download the Sony time-lapse app.
Wow, very good video tutorial!!!!

How is the battery life when shooting time lapse with the a6000?
I'm looking at the a6000 as a step up from my cell phone camera which I've used to take a few sunset time lapses of 1400+ images.
Does the Sony app also limit you to only 990 images as well or is that just what's displayed?
Battery life is good while taking a timelapse but it's limited to 990 images.
Great tutorial, thanks for the tips !

Ja, super... dann versuche ich es doch einfach mal! DANKE
best tutorial on how to take a timelapse :D good job, what settings should i use to do astrophotography with the a6000 ?
Hallo SkylarveinYT,
You should use a lense that allows you to use a low F-Stop number like F 2, exposure 20 sec and ISO of 800-1600. Depends all on your conditions.
Thanks for this! I notice you have the "Interval Priority" option set to off; how does that effect the timelapse?
Also, in manual mode I don't think AE Tracking would work (it is only for PAS modes) so how do we do day-night shoots while having longer shutter speeds? Multiple takes?
Interval Priority will set the priority to the Interval. Which means the camera may ignore things like "Long-Exposure Noise Reduction" or AE Tracking if it intersects with the interval.
You can use AE Trackin in manual mode but then you have to set ISO to Auto. Choose S, A or P depending on what is more important to you. If you want to lock the shutter speed, choose the S mode. Then the camera will adjust the f-stop to the light condition. You can also combine it with "Auto ISO"
Is there a reason why i cannot change my aperture?? "function disabled"
Change to manual mode.
I have my dial on M and my thing on custom. Is there another manual button?
Sorry I don't know, it works fine with my camera. Maybe you use a lens that doesn't support it.
weird. I go into normal mode and set my fstop and i go into the application and its stuck at that so I guess thats a work around.
i cant belive you dont have more veiws, ty for good guide, subed, liked :)
Thank you :)
Outstanding work, one of the best tutorials I've seen.
Hi,
Thanks for your tutorial. Could your answer one question. If you set AE tracking to LOW and set Manual mode (for example 1" f4.5 ISO100) how can camera change exposure? Maybe it need to set P/S/S mode for AE tracking?
Hi Oleg Lazhechnikov,
in this combination the camera can't use AE tracking. If you want to shoot in manual mode you can set ISO to AUTO, this will allow the camera to make the image brighter but not darker. So if you want a consistent exposure of a sunrise you have to use either P/S/or A mode.
Thanx!
very helpful!
Been waiting for this! Excited for the next tutorial! When will it be?:)
+Jonn frankcoiz Villafranca I hope tomorrow but my timetable is a bit full. Definitely before the next weekend :)
Sorry to ask, but how was the ND1000 filter used? I missed it.
MrEye4get the shutter speed is reduced which makes the image way brighter and the filter is used to darken the image. Pretty much sunglasses for a lens. The shutter speed is reduced for motion blur
Looking Forward to Part 2!
Great stuff ! do you need a stepup ring for the ND filter ? thanks !
No, you don't.
