ItвЂ™s only 4 frames and I could edit it out, but left it in to show you what I mean. At 1:03 in this video mode time lapse, someone over my back fence switched on their outsideВ light and the white balance (auto, in video time lapse mode) jumped a gate and ran off into the hills! Take a look, youвЂ™ll see what I mean. Keeping in mind you may lose a little continuity in your time lapse if you delete more than a couple of frames, and youвЂ™ll see jumps. The downside of thisВ isВ that if you get a dodgy image (bird flies across, aВ drastic light change, etc.) in the middle of your time lapse, with the photo version you can simply delete the offending frame and youвЂ™re good to go.В In video mode, you would need to edit that frame out with a video editor of sorts. With the video version of the sequence, you get a simple video at the end, that you can directly upload and share with your friends.

In video time lapse mode, you get a single file at the end of your sequence, with photo time lapse you get the time lapse movie as the individual images. ItвЂ™s actually very simple, thereвЂ™s a touch screen rear display (as per above) and you simply tap it, select time lapse (either photo or video version of time lapse), dial in some adjustment, and press the go button! Now, the unit saves the time lapse in one of two formats, you may have noticed I said вЂњPhoto or Video time lapseвЂќ above, which is basically the output you get when you select either. WhatвЂ™s it like to work on your time lapse creation with the YI 4K?

Said to have a Gorilla Glass rear touch screen, and IвЂ™ve got to say, that itвЂ™s actually useable! Responsive and clear, and also quite good at playing back your Time Lapse sequence on the camera.

This review is all about the cameraвЂ™s time lapse ability.

IвЂ™m not going to talk about the whole video side of the unit much, though it produces decent quality 4K footage for the price tag. There are a handful of reviews popping up online for this little camera, and most IвЂ™ve read or watched are positive. So, looking at options, I once again find myself wading into the вЂњnot really brand nameвЂќ manufacturers of the lesser known! Enter YI Technology YI 4K Action Cam. Again, a spare battery and youвЂ™re up over half a grand. I also have a very brilliant Sony Action Cam 4K. I have a GoPro, itвЂ™s great! ItвЂ™s the Hero4 Black, and it does time lapse, but itвЂ™s actually pretty expensive! Expensive enough, with some accessories and a spare battery, that you might actually consider just getting an entry level dSLR! That being said, can you create a good enough looking time lapse, to start your journey into this fun and creative style of photography with an action camera? ThatвЂ™sВ the question I set out to find an answer to, with this latest hardware review. If you want to take it further, you might look at something that allows you to have movement in your time lapse, rather than a static shot, just to add interest. A trigger that allows you to set your camera to capture the time lapse, either indefinitely or for a certain period of time.

So, time lapse with amazing results requires a bit of gear, right? AВ camera that allows you to adjust your shutter and aperture. YourВ week at the beach might only last a few minutes as a time lapse (as opposed to a couple of hours of video to make your friendsВ sit through!) However you use it, thereвЂ™s no denying itвЂ™s fun to use, and fun to try. Time lapse photography can produce stunning results that can inspire you to travel, to capture behind the scenes of your photographic projects, evenВ as a great way to capture yourВ holidays. While this is essentially a review of a small action camera, that produces both stills and video, IвЂ™m going to focus on using the little YI 4K Action Camera, to kickstart your love of time lapse photography.
