Calculating the Length of the Final Movie
The total number of frames in the final movie
can be calculated by dividing the shooting time
by the interval and rounding up. The length of
the final movie can then be calculated by diving
the number of shots by the frame rate selected
for Movie settings > Frame size/frame rate. A
48 frame movie recorded at 1920 × 1080;
24 fps, for example, will be about two seconds
long. The maximum length for movies recorded
using time-lapse photography is 20 minutes.
