I have been using the X Series to produce time-lapse videos since I acquired my first X-T1. However the ability to shoot with better quality lenses on a larger sensor offers a lot of advantages that I choose to accept that to produce a time-lapse sequence is a little bit more time consuming and I feel the results are certainly worth the extra effort. As an X Photographer I have had the opportunity to raise this directly with Fujifilm and I hope they will consider adding this feature in the future. While certain cameras, such as my GoPros and iPhone, can shoot a time-lapse video in camera which is ready for exporting to whatever platform you choose, this is not a function that is currently available on the X Series cameras. I use the technique to fast forward certain clips to shorten the time of that element or I use the time-lapse technique as the main part of a video. I sometimes use time-lapse as just one part of the videos I produce.

One of my favourite video techniques is time-lapse as it shows a different side to a scene, speeding up the moving elements to give an ethereal feel to the final video.
