    Consistent Delays Between Images YesEnable this to force the time between the start of exposures to be a consistent length + Enabling this makes the time between the start of one auto-exposure + and the start of the next exposure a consistent length (Max Auto-Exposure + Delay). - Doing this will result in timelapse video frames being equally spaced, - for example, every 90 seconds, regardless of how long an individual frame's exposure is. + Timelapse video frames will be equally spaced. +
    + For example, if the Max Auto-Exposure is + 60 seconds and the Delay is 30 seconds, + the start of an exposure will be exactly 90 after the prior exposure's start time, + regardless of how long an individual frame's exposure is. + So if the first exposure was only 3 seconds, + the second exposure will still start 90 seconds after the first one. +

    + Disabling this means the time between exposure starts varies depending on + the actual length of each exposure. + At nighttime when most exposure are at their maximum length this setting + doesn't make a difference, + but during the day or at twilight the exposure length is usually not at the maximum. +
