At a recent LSU football game in Baton Rouge,La I decided to bring along my Nikon D800 still camera and try out the new time lapse feature built into it.  I shoot the games from the north end zone scoreboard for the video crew and it seemed like the perfect place to set up my camera and give it a try.  To set up the shot, I brought along my lightweight Monfrotto tripod and my Vanguard 200 ball head.  I ran the time lapse for an hour and a half and set the camera up from my media deck.  I used aperture priority as I knew the light would be changing and I would be running the TV camera and not able to monitor or change any settings on the camera throughout this time frame.  I went back and checked the camera at half time and this is what I got!  This new time lapse feature of the D800 is simply awesome.  It is simple to do and puts out a finished product at the end.  You simply set the time duration, the shots interval, and it even tells you how long the final quicktime movie is going to be when done.  Hit start and your done, let it rip.  The camera takes a still image at the preset interval and temporarily writes it to your memory card.  Once the timer has run its course, the processor in the camera then combines all these still images into the pre specified frame rate you chose and outputs an easy to use, ready to work with quicktime movie file.  After the movie file is created the camera then deletes all the still images off of your memory cards to free up space for whatever you want to shoot next.  You could not really ask for a simpler way to do time lapse video.
