With this feature, you can record the progress of an &#8220;event&#8221; with a series of photos taken at a set time between each capture. It&#8217;s commonly referred to as <em>time lapse photography<\/em>. An example of time lapse is the way that a flower seems to magically grow before your eyes as it blossoms.<\/p>\n<p>Since I was curious about using this feature, I looked for an appropriate subject. It just so happens that we had recently returned from a trip out west and brought back a small collection of <em>&#8220;Mexican jumping beans<\/em>&#8220;.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nWe set the camera on a tripod and placed the jumping beans in the center of the yellow sheet. Using the interval camera settings on the camera&#8217;s menu, we set the camera to shoot every 60 seconds. Here&#8217;s a sequence of photos taken one minute apart:<\/p>\n<p><IMG SRC=https:\/\/stayfocusedpress.com\/images\/action\/DSC_1165s.jpg><br \/>\n<IMG SRC=https:\/\/stayfocusedpress.com\/images\/action\/DSC_1170s.jpg><br \/>\n<IMG SRC=https:\/\/stayfocusedpress.com\/images\/action\/DSC_1175s.jpg><br \/>\n<IMG SRC=https:\/\/stayfocusedpress.com\/images\/action\/DSC_1181s.jpg><br \/>\n<IMG SRC=https:\/\/stayfocusedpress.com\/images\/action\/DSC_1186s.jpg><\/p>\n<p>These photos prove that these <u>jumping beans are earning their keep<\/u>!<\/p>\n<p>These photos were taken using a Nikon D5000.  Several of Nikon&#8217;s point-and-shoot cameras also have built-in interval timers including the S10, S50, S200 and S500.
