The Capture Mode

Capture modes determine the action when the shutter button is pressed. The default setting captures a single image. For more advanced options, you can record live video to combine stop-motion animation with live action, or utilize the timelapse feature to automatically take pictures at set intervals, creating a timelapse animation.

The five capture modes are as follows:

  • Photo: Single-image capture. This is the default mode. Will capture a single image only.
  • Timer: Capture after countdown timer. Will capture a single image after a countdown. The timer needs to be restarted after each capture.
  • Clip: Record live action. In this mode, Stop Motion Studio will record a video clip.
  • Timelapse: Continuous image capture with intervals. Will capture a single image after a countdown. The timer will be restarted after each capture. Best for timelapse recordings.
  • Multi: Simultaneous capture of multiple images.

To modify the capture mode:

  1. While in capture mode, tap the capture mode button to switch the mode.
  2. Choose a new capture mode and close the capture mode settings. The shutter button may reflect the updated capture mode, and additional options might appear beside the shutter button.
