If you want to keep your setup and use it again on other shoots you can save it. This will add a
new preset to the timelapse menu.
Start
Once you have been through these settings you can hit start and your timelapse will begin.
Advanced settings
In the advanced settings you can adjust the move shoot delay. This is the time that the Genie will
wait after it has finished moving before it sends the signal for your camera to take a photo. If you
have a heavy setup or an unstable rig then adjusting the move shoot delay will help settle any
camera shake before capturing the next image.
