I have a brand new 422GW and in the short while I have used it I have been very impressed. I would like to take sunset/ moving cloud time lapse videos with it mounted on a tripod, but I need a much slower frame rate, say 5 seconds per frame. NOT 5 frames per second!
Is there a way to edit the standard time lapse video to output a saved file in a much slower rate (25 times slower)? I don’t understand why 5 frames per second was selected, it is way too fast for even slow city driving, much less watching clouds float by. What use is it with that fast speed? Maybe if you are crawling along in a Jeep at walking speeds.....
Adding user selectable speed between 1 and 10 seconds per frame, and a “Continuous Time Lapse Record” function would be a simple firmware change, and it would open up the camera for use in other than a driving scenario. Like a two hour sunset while camping.... i am sure that there are other owners who would love to be able to use it this way, with a simple tripod adapter.
Videos taken this way (still images every few seconds) have a VERY small file size, don’t use much power and don’t overheat your camera. With the high quality lens and HD resolution of this series cameras, they would look glorious.
