HVX capable of time-lapse?

[Kennedy]

I know this feature was eliminated on the DVX100b, but is it available on the HVX?

[Barry_Green]

Yes.

Tape or P2?

[Barry_Green]

Probably P2 only. Haven't tried it in tape. But in P2 it does true single-frame time lapse, not the burst-of-frames type that the DVX did to tape.

Does this mean finally a decent sunrise and sunset time lapse without expensive rental?......wait, I think I'm having an orgasm, oh yes, oh yes, oh yes...no no, I can't...must...wait...just...three...more....weeks - Damn it!

If you want time-lapse you could always use a digital still camera. Most of the cameras out now will have HD resolution that could match the HVX. But of course I see the whole thing about just using the HVX for the time-lapse. Also you can get slower shutter speeds with a still shot.

[Barry_Green]

Yes you can absolutely do decent sunrise/sunset time lapse, frame-accurate. You can choose the intervals from as quick as one frame every two frames (i.e., one frame every 1/30th of a second in a 60p stream) to as long as one frame every 10 minutes.

Talk about undercranking!

Yes, digital still cameras work and work well, but there are some disadvantages.... take it from a guy who recently had a Nikon D70 denied shutter repair under warranty because of "abnormally high number of exposures". :)

I've shot hours and hours of 35mm time-lapse with my pin-registered camera, made a decent living off of it selling royalty free collections to Adobe Image Club Graphics and Digital Vision out of London, and have some experience in this area. In fact, to this day, a good bit of the time-lapse clouds you see in network promos (NBC and FOX mostly) is my work.

The HVX having the ability to do single frame and interval time-lapse is a godsend. Thank you Panasonic, from the bottom of my heart. And I really mean that.

Seriously, Jim? They knew how many exposures you took and denied you? Damn.
