What Is Interval Shooting Mode
Interval shooting mode on OPPO devices lets you capture a series of photos automatically at set intervals, perfect for creating time-lapse videos of changing scenes like sunsets or cityscapes. You simply choose the time, between shots (like every second or minute) and the total shooting time and the camera takes care of the rest. This feature is ideal for capturing moments over time without needing to take each photo manually. Read the article below to learn more about this feature.

What is Interval Shooting Mode
Interval shooting mode is a camera setting on OPPO devices that lets you capture a series of photos over a chosen period, automatically taking each shot at a specific interval. This feature is perfect for creating time-lapse videos, which are short clips created by playing back a sequence of photos at high speed. The result is a captivating visual that shows the passage of time or movement in a scene.
How Does Interval Shooting Work
Open [Camera] > Select [
] > Select [Interval Shooting] > Turn On [Interval shooting].
The process of using interval shooting mode on an OPPO device is simple:
Choose the Interval: This is the time between each shot, which you can set according to how quickly you want the changes in your scene to be captured. For example, you might set a short interval of a few seconds for fast-moving scenes, or a longer interval for slower changes, like a sunset.
Set the Duration: You can set the total duration of the interval shooting mode, meaning the total length of time over which photos will be captured. This ensures that you won’t need to monitor the camera; it will automatically capture photos for the duration you’ve chosen.
Capture Automatically: Once you’ve set these options, you can start shooting. The OPPO device will automatically take photos at each interval, creating a seamless series of images that you can later combine into a time-lapse video.
Note:
You can Select between 0-600 shots and 1-60 seconds interval time.
You can also use the Interval shooting option in Pro-mode.
Tips for Using Interval Shooting Mode
To get the best results from interval shooting mode on your OPPO device, here are a few tips:
Use a Tripod: Stability is key for time-lapse videos. Using a tripod will ensure that the camera stays still, providing a smooth final product.
Experiment with Intervals: Different scenes require different intervals. For fast-moving subjects, a shorter interval will capture more detail, while slower intervals work best for gradual changes, like a sunrise.
Check Lighting Conditions: Good lighting is essential for high-quality shots. Avoid overly dark conditions unless you’re aiming for a specific effect.
