  1. Choose the Interval Shooting Mode

Firstly, select the "Interval Photo" mode on your QooCam 3. This mode supports intervals as short as 0 seconds, allowing for more frequent photo captures and better adaptation to dynamic scenes like moving traffic or twinkling stars.

Note: A U3 card can store a single 11K JPG image in less than 3 seconds, while storing a set of 11K JPG+DNG images takes approximately 6.2 seconds.

 

  1. Import Your Shots into QooCam Studio 2.0

Next, import your shots into QooCam Studio 2.0. JPG files can be directly compiled into videos, while DNG files can be exported as DNG sequences for more extensive post-processing, or as vibrant JPG sequences which are AI Color Graded. Refer to the flowchart below for a visual representation:

With just three simple steps, you can master the art of capturing mesmerizing light trails and starry skies. So, what are you waiting for? Go out and give it a try!
