More advanced software can remove this, but there’s also another way of reducing this problem and it all comes down to the lens you use. One of the problems with aperture priority is that if there are flashing lights or quick changes in brightness between one shot to the next, the camera will be fooled into under and overexposure which will ultimately result in flicker.įlicker is when the brightness of frames is slightly different so that when the time-lapse is played back as a video you see a flicker. When shooting in this mode you’ll need to set the necessary amount of exposure compensation if required. This is the mode where you set ISO and aperture, and the camera sets the appropriate shutter speed for a correct exposure. The second, and easier, option is to shoot in aperture priority mode. An advanced version of this is where you shoot a day to night scene and make minor adjustments to shutter speed and ISO as the scene gradually darkens. The first is to put the camera into manual mode so that exposure is fixed and any brightening or darkening of the scene will be picked up. There are two main options for shooting mode when shooting a time-lapse.
