Just got my new Osmo Action 3... it's not clear how the "Auto" option works for a Hyperlapse.

Hmmm... interesting. I haven't tried the Auto setting yet. I'm guessing maybe it detects the speed you are walking at and adjusts the interval accordingly...? Will have to try it next time.

Yea, I assume it's something like that, which sounds handy but I can't find any documentation about it

Unfortunately, a lot of features don't have documentation or not detailed enough.

I tried that once on my GP10 and put it on Auto while I was driving, and no speed changes was made (that I noticed).
But I have seen on youtube (still with GP), that guy was walking and it changed speed (speed ramp) but can't remember if it did now and then or just randomly.

Maybe driving is too fast for a reasonable speed change detection? Unless maybe you go 60mph in one minute and 4mph the next?

The OA3 also has a switch at the lower-left corner to switch between 1x or whatever speed you are filming with - even when using Auto. But you have to do that manually during recording.

Place it on auto, and just go do a few minutes you'll see it set the pace for you, also on the Lower left is a switch so you can  change to 1X real time and talk then switch back

Interesting, need to test that out one day

auto is 7x
I can use the smallrig move mikrofon
no mikrofon icon in the mimo app
icon on camera screen

Hi there, k_hargy. Thanks for reaching out, and congratulations on your new Osmo Action 3! Please note that when Hyperlapse is set in Auto Mode, the default speed rate is 7x. When a static state, walking, running, or substantial movement is detected, it will switch.
Here is the speed rate range:
Static State: 15x
Walking: 10x ~ 30x
Running: i.e., 12x ~ 30x
Substantial movement: 5x ~ 10x
Hope this helps. Should you have further concerns, please reach back here at DJI Forum. Thank you for your valued support.

Sounds plausible, but would love to have DJI weigh in on what’s actually going on often times for me it just seems like it’s doing something or 10 or 5X Hyperlapse
