Canon PowerShot G9 Time-Lapse Photography

Time-lapse photography is a cinematography technique whereby each film frame is captured at a rate (1 picture every second in this case) much slower than it will be played back (15 frames per second). When replayed at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing. Time-lapse photography can be considered to be the opposite of high speed photography.

Processes that would normally appear subtle to the human eye, such as motion in the sky-clouds, become very pronounced. Time-lapse is the extreme version of the cinematography technique of undercranking, and can be considered as a form of stop motion animation.

I love your video. Just received my G9 and learning all the features. I'm anxious to try the time lapse feature.

Please, tell us what the sound track is that accompanies the video!

Thanks, Bill

Hi Bill, I hope you are finding your G9 a pleasure to work with. The music for this is by Medwyn Goodall, Copyright Free music. If anyone knows where I can pick up the full set of about 8 albums, please let me know.

Why Canon ditched the time lapse feature, I'll never know. They have it in the S95 but only in miniature mode for some reason. I'm hoping the s100 will have regular time lapse. This was an incredible feature. The thing the G9 didn't have, which would have made time lapse even better, was a wider angle --around 28mm-- for those landscape/cloud shots.

how do you turn timelapse off?!?!?!

[roborovskihamsters]

How did you do this?

That's quite boring, apart from moving clouds there's nothing happening there. Try time-lapse with moving cars on the highway or main street.

People walking up and down the street. The few slides at the beginning don't seem to have anything to do with the time-lapse part in any way.

Good luck.

@volcomvenom Me too! Mine broke about a month ago, and I couldn't find anything decent to replace it (the G10 and G11 have cellphone-resolution video and no time lapse, no camera of that size from other brands had all the same features, let alone anything better) so I got the G9 fixed. I wish cameras were more like computers, and actually improved with each generation.

That would be correct if it was 1fps, but it's 30fps so it would take around 3 hours for 3 minutes of footage with a 2 second interval.

I love my G9 forget the G10 and G11!!!!!
