7. SLOW DOWN THE SHUTTER SPEED

Lowering the shutter speed a little may help smooth out the time-lapse effect, particularly if your camera can record only 0.05 seconds of footage in this mode (as opposed to one frame, which is preferable). Otherwise, cameras with longer interval recording times such as 0.05 seconds will produce a more choppy time-lapse effect.
