Shooting Movies of Star Movement (Star Time-Lapse

Movie)

Still images are captured continuously, at a specified interval and over

a certain duration, and combined to create a movie. Stars move quickly
during playback, so you can view their movement in a short time. Before
shooting, you can also choose movie effects and the frame rate.
A shooting session can last up to about 2 hours, and many shots are taken.
Check the battery level and memory card space in advance.
