Yes I termed it "video", as a timelapse video normal indicates it is a long period of time condensed into a short amount of time. This is a video with only minimal frames. It is shot in realtime, just not with as many frames as what a 7d would take, so it ends up jerky...

You are right though a "video", would normally be 16 frames per sec to be smooth, this is only about 1 frame per second condensed down to 16 fps. A "timelapse" would normally also be a fixed position shot, not with panning / movement of the camera.


Basically I am trying to mimic 7d video, but I need to up my shots / sec count.
Perhaps if I shot in burst mode...?



Have you checked out some 7d macro video?
I'll grab a good link incase you haven't.
