![]() ![]() Once all the images are captured, the camera combines them into the final video like the one you see below. One of the really nice features is the “smoothing” option, which compensates for extreme changes in exposure during the recording. Set-up is simple: just choose the interval (time between shots) and the total shooting time and you’re good to go. The Nikon D500 makes time-lapse video incredibly easy. But given the tendency of the Nikon D500’s autofocus to occasionally search for focus and the fact that seabirds might fly into and out of the scene, I thought manual focus would work better here. The Nikon D500 did a good job of balancing the exposure in this high contrast scene. For example, a 14mm lens will deliver the same field of view as a 28mm lens, which may or may not be wide enough for the shot you planned. Add that crop factor to the camera’s APS-C 1.5x native crop and you need to figure in a little more than a total of 2x crop when choosing a lens. Keep in mind, though, that 4K recording uses only part of the sensor. Image quality is quite good, with accurate colors and exposures. You can also add an external monitor or recorder. Complementing its video capabilities are a built-in stereo microphone, an external microphone jack as well as a headphone connector. One of the first DSLRs to offer 4K video, the Nikon D500’s video options range from 4K UHD (30/24 fps), Full HD (60/30/24fps) to HD at 60fps.
