Time-lapse mode captures individual video frames at longer intervals and creates a video that plays much faster than real time. You can use time-lapse mode to record movements, changes, or events that take place slowly over a long period of time.

Time-lapse videos play at 30 frames per second. The length of the video depends on the amount of time between video frames. For example, if frames are recorded at a one-second interval, each second of video covers 30 seconds of real time. If frames are recorded at a 60-second interval, each second of video covers 30 minutes of real time.
