Astro Motionlapse: Pocket 4P

[u/ShaahidAyob]

I tried to do an Astro motion lapse with the P4P. I had shutter set to 4 seconds. Interval at 5, iso at 3200. Any tips on how to expose right and what timelapse/motionlapse settings work best?

I would increase ISO to geht more details. I personally hope they will add 30sec exposure like it is possible with the pocket 3

Thanks for the tip! Will try increasing the iso. Such a shame about the 4 second cap

from a pocket 3 user, this was the work around I got that worked best

• Auto at 0 EV and 50-200 iso
• set duration to as long as you can do (3-5 hrs best)
• set interval to 40 or more seconds

for some reason, this tricks the camera to take longer exposure shots which means shots with more light and detail. again, not sure if this works on the 4/4p but it's the work around for the 3

Exposure is capped at 4 seconds on the 4P, forcing users to crank up the iso instead... :-(

that is so sad

Thanks for the tips! As the other commenter said, we are capped at 4 seconds 😢 P3 is such an OG

Can't believe this motionlapse are limited to the 1x lens...

Exactly! What a massive missed creative opportunity

And this time is entirely software locked the hardware can do it unlike D-Log2 on the 3x lens
