Timelapse+ VIEW Now With Fujifilm Support

By Louis Ferreira | Published: December 20, 2018


Fuji X series mirrorless cameras combined with the VIEW Intervalometer makes it easy to achieve the holy-grail of time-lapse.

Minneapolis, Minnesota — December 2018: Timelapse+, a leader in developing hardware and software tools for time-lapse professionals is now excited to announce support for Fuji X series cameras and the Timelapse+ VIEW intervalometer. The Timelapse+ VIEW is a breakthrough intervalometer for cinematographers and photographers that allows for automatic bulb ramping, live time-lapse preview, touch-free gesture controls, and full-control of settings through a mobile app for iOS and Android.

What is the Timelapse holy grail?
The Holy Grail of timelapse has been the pursuit of creating near perfect transition from day to night without much post editing. The VIEW has made it possible to conquer this challenge. The VIEW can automatically ramp the exposure by analyzing the exposure value of each image and delivers perfect results for sunset, sunrise or milky-way captures. Automatic day-to-night and night-to-day or even 24 hours with no setup needed — just press start!

The results are significantly better and smoother than the camera’s aperture priority mode since by analyzing each image it can achieve proper exposure for the Milky Way even when ramping from noon sun, while at the same time ignoring sudden changes such as from headlights.

The Fuji X-T1 X-T2, X-T3, X-Pro2, X-H1 and GFX-50s are all supported for fully automatic Holy Grail time-lapse with the VIEW Intervalometer. Read More »

Fujifilm X-H1 Firmware Update 2.00
The firmware update Ver.2.00 from Ver.1.20 incorporates the following issues:

  1. In-body image stabilization and optical image stabilization now work together to improve overall stability
    With an XF or XC optical image stabilized lens, in-body image stabilization worked with 3 axis (up and down / optical axis rotation). The remaining 2 axis (right and left pitch, yaw angle) was controlled by optical image stabilization in the lens. This firmware has a new image stabilization algorithm to allow the in-body image stabilization to work in all 5 axis and to achieve more than five-stops (up to the equivalent of 5.5 stops (*1)) image stabilization by cooperative control according to the types of frequency and blur amount.
    To activate this function, lenses are necessary to be updated to latest firmware version. Please check the latest firmware version from the link below.

    *1：Based on CIPA standards. When using XF10-24mmF4 R OIS, XF18-55mmF2.8-4 R LM OIS, and XC16-50mmF3.5-5.6 OIS II.
    Regarding the image stabilization performance, refer to the list of “Cooperative control by in-body and optical image stabilization with firmware ver.2.00 of X-H1”.

  2. Improved in-body image stabilization performance
    Eliminate image shake when panning slowly when movie recording or on the live view image.
  3. Recording over 4GB movie file as one file
    Movie files are no longer split when the file reaches 4GB file size. The file is recorded as one file providing an SD memory card greater than 32GB is used (excludes 32GB) (*2).
    *2：By using SD memory cards less than or equal to 32GB, movie recording will continue without interruption when the file size reaches 4GB, however subsequent footage will be recorded to a separate file.
    Note：Format SD memory cards before first use, and be sure to reformat all memory cards after using them in a computer or other device.

    Color temperature (Kelvin) can be displayed on EVF/LCD.
  5. Display power supply icon
