TimeLapsed 2.0 · The Camera

Keep the settings that made a shot work.

A profile is a starting point you can return to. Use a built-in setup to get the camera ready, then adjust it for the light and movement at your location. When the combination works, save your own version so the next session begins with a familiar camera rather than a long list of settings to rebuild.

01 · Camera Profiles

Start with a profile suited to the scene.

Built-in profiles cover familiar subjects such as star trails, air traffic, vehicles and light painting. They bring exposure, cadence and processing choices together. Review the preview after loading one: a city street, a dark field and a brightly lit performance will need different adjustments even when the subject category is the same.

Start with a profile suited to the scene.

02 · Camera Profiles

Make a separate version for your equipment.

Change the camera, exposure, color and live-processing choices for the rig you are using. Save a copy with a name you will recognize later. Include enough context in the name to distinguish similar setups, such as a particular light tool or a night location. A profile saves settings; it does not guarantee the same light or physical framing.

03 · Camera Profiles

Share a useful starting point.

TimeLapsed Community includes camera-profile sharing, so a proven setup can give another photographer a place to begin. Review a shared profile before recording and adapt it to your device and scene. Pair a profile with Camera Actions when the setup needs to evolve over time, and use saved-position guidance separately when returning to an earlier composition.

Share a useful starting point.
