How to Shoot Timelapse on the Canon 80D

May 4, 2017 By Eric Reagan

With the release of the Canon 7D Mark II a couple years back, we are starting to see more and more Canon DSLRs offer a built-in intervalometer. For those of us who have shot Canon DSLRs for a long time, this is a very welcomed trend.

The Canon 80D offers virtually the same built-in intervalometer features we saw on the Canon 7D Mark II. I put together the above video as a quick walk-through to introduce the features to new 80D users. If for some reason you can’t see the video embedded above, you can find it directly here on YouTube.

The Canon 7D Mark II along with the 5DS and 5DS R cameras are the first Canon DSLRs to offer a built-in intervalometer. With these new models, it is now possible to shoot interval images for time lapse sequences without the need for the overpriced Canon TC-80N3.

Note, however, that shooting still images with the built-in intervalometer is different than shooting in Time-lapse movie mode on the 5DS and 5DS R. [Read more…]
