Anybody doing Timelapse with the HPX?

[EDV]

All the threads I've found about Timelapse on DVXuser are of people using their DSLRs.
What about the HPX170? Anybody using the intervalometer feature on this camera?
I've tried with some success, but need more practice with it. It seems to work as good as you could expect, 10 to 30 sec intervals sure beat 1fps! I understand that the Lens on the HVX / HPX is limited, but it can still shoot some great timelapse!

I've done timelapse with the HVX200, works great, here's one example,

I recommend using auto iris for long ones like this.

EDV,

Yes, I love shooting timelapses. Especially on the HVX200.

There are 2 main ways I go about it:

One, using 1080 30p in "Video Cam" mode, I select the intervalometer feature and let it rip with any shutter speed.

And two, using the Framerate hack in "Film Cam" mode, I adjust the framerate to only 3fps in 720/24 mode, then adjust the shutter speed to about 280.0 degrees for a smooth streaky effect.

Here are a ton of examples in my doco/adventure travel video. Including crazy light streaks:
