8.0 New recordings and presets
Time to get creative. We’ll now give you a bit more of a run down on each of the settings that you
can adjust to create your own unique timelapse and video recordings.. We will use the panning
setup throughout but all of these settings apply to the linear setup as well.
timelapSe
- With the panning accessory in place and the Genie turned on, enter the timelapse mode by
pressing ‘OK’ on the timelapse menu item.
- Press ‘OK’ again to enter the New recording menu.
In here you will be able to adjust all of the various settings required to capture a timelapse using
either the traditional method, setting via the shot interval, or the real time method specifying the
compiled video play time.
Rec time
This is the total time the Genie will run for during the timelapse. Set this to a time that suits the
scene you are shooting.
Play time
This is the time that you would like your final video to play for after you have compiled all of the
images. The Genie will use this setting and the frame rate you set to determine the total number
of shots it needs to take and how long to wait between each of them. By adjusting this value the
interval between the shots will also change.
Interval
The interval is the time between each of the shots the Genie tells your camera to capture. The
interval will be calculated from the Rec time and the Play time. If you have a particular interval you
like to shoot with, you can adjust the interval setting and the play time will update to match.
Note: If you are shooting long exposures, make sure that the interval is long enough to allow the
camera to finish capturing the image as well as process the data.
Movement
This sets the angle (in panning) or distance (in linear) as well as the direction.
- Press the Left or Right keys to adjust the value.
- Press the ‘OK’ button to change the direction.
Preview
This runs the Genie at the video playback speed based on the settings you have chosen. You can
use this to preview how your movement will look in your compiled video.
Note: If the real time play speed of your setting is faster than the maximum drive speed of the
Genie the preview function will be greyed out.
