At the end of this video, you will know the benefits of extending the camera power when shooting time-lapse video.
- Shooting time lapse is just going to burn…through your batteries, and there's a couple…things you could do.…On the camera on the left, I turned…off the live view monitor, and that's going to save battery.…Now, my micro four thirds camera, it's on,…but I could turn that off as well, and that will…also extend the battery life.…Speaking of batteries, make sure you go…out with several for the day.…You're going to want to have lots of charged batteries,…so you can just keep shooting, and as you do that,…that's going to let you really get those shots,…and enjoy the most while you're out there.…
I typically travel with about five batteries for a day,…and I also keep a charger and an inverter…in my car, if I got into a pinch.…Now, besides that, couple things.…Cold will drain batteries very quickly.…So if you're out shooting in colder conditions,…keep the batteries on your body.…Actually wear them inside your coat so they'll last longer,…or keep them wrapped up, and keep them thermal.…Now, as these are rolling, everything's fine.…
