If you take a photo, say, every 30 seconds, then in 24 hours that would be 2,880 photos. So two months would be 172,800 images. If I just go with jpeg and use, say 5MB per image, that would be around 850MB (give or take). if you don’t use photos just video only (I mean technically you can just copy a frame if you want a photo, but I am not sure about the compression of a video frame vs a jpg photo…), it sould be around the same size - if my estimation is somewhat correct.
Either way, using a 256GB card (which is the max size), you will have to swap cards 3 times (well, twice if you don't count the first run). If you use 40 second interval, you can save a few (hundred?) megabytes.
Yes, will definitely transfer the files out every few days.
But I’m still not understanding how a Timelapse video is captured here. Just the video option alone. There’s a setting to define the intervals in which a photo is taken. Even for just a Timelapse video, right? And then my assumption is that it’s processed into a video afterwards automatically by the camera.
If it is based on photos first (rather than just a straight up video that’s sped up) then I’m wondering what those individual photo file sizes might be. I understand there are also the JPEG and RAW options but those are different file sizes. So would the “video” option file sizes be different? |
