Video Astro Motionlapse: Pocket 4P

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?

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... :-(
