How to Shoot a Time Lapse in S&Q Mode || Sony a7S III, a7 IV

What's the quickest way to shoot a time lapse in your Sony mirrorless camera?  While Sony's Alpha series cameras do have a few ways of accomplishing this - including interval shooting and the PlayMemories Time Lapse app - each of these poses some challenges to achieving a ready-to-go, full video of a time lapse in Sony's newest cameras, without any additional work.

Fortunately, Sony's Slow & Quick (also known as S&Q) mode allows you to capture a time lapse with just a few settings changes in your camera, and without any additional work to be done in post.  I'll walk through the process of setting this up with my Sony a7S III, though this process can also be used for other newer Sony cameras like the FX3, a1, a7 IV or any of Sony's cameras with S&Q mode like my a7 III, though the menu names and locations might change.

Last, I'll go over some final tips and tricks you may want to consider when shooting time lapses, while also mentioning one key thing to keep in mind with S&Q mode in general.
