To save tape, does a gl1 have a time lapse "feature" were it will take 1 frame every few seconds. i know you can use a whole tape for 80mins... but then you waste a whole tape. if they cant, what cameras can?

I don't think that it effects quality, people may say that it does, but you can't see it.

No there is no feature on a GL1 for a time lapse.

All you do is film whatever thing in nature your for a few minutes depending on what it is.Then put it into an editing program and fast forward it.

You can't really film a 12 hour storm with one tape unless you have the feature. http://media.nscdn.com/uploads/member/videos/1172270965snowlapse.mov

Then you'll be up all night and have 30 seconds worth of video to show for it.
