Taking Time-Lapse Photos at Night

When taking time-lapse photos at night, you should attach the camera to a stable mount and allow time to test your photo settings.

  1. Connect your camera to the Garmin® VIRB® app.
  2. From the app viewfinder, select Gear symbol > Photo Mode > Time-lapse.
  3. Select Type > Night.
  4. Select Interval, and select a time interval between photos.
  5. Select Exposure Time, and select an exposure time for each photo.

    You should select a longer exposure time for darker lighting conditions, or if you want to capture motion blur in your image.

  6. Select ISO Limit, and select an option appropriate for the lighting conditions.
  7. Attach the camera to a stable mount, or set the camera on a stable surface.

    Preventing the camera from moving helps to reduce blurring in photos with longer exposure times.

  8. On the camera, select Camera symbol.

    The camera takes a series of photos at the selected interval.

  9. Check the first several photos to verify the photo settings are correct for the lighting conditions (optional).
  10. Select Camera symbol again to stop taking photos.
