What frame rate should I use?
Generally, 10 FPS is suitable for Time Lapse video, but we suggested 30 FPS. 1 FPS: The video plays 1 frame per second, so the video will not look smooth, and the video length will be longer. 30 FPS: The video plays 30 frames per second, so the video will look smooth, and the video length will be shorter.
White Balance
At the default setting of Auto (AWB), the camera automatically adjusts white balance so that a white subject will appear white regardless of the color of the light source. It may however be necessary to match white balance to the light source under mixed lighting or when photographing a subject that is a solid color.
