What is LMC 8.4 APK?

LMC 8.4 is a popular third-party camera app that provides you with more control over your phone’s camera settings than the stock camera app. It was actually made to provide the features of the Google camera that you generally get on Google Pixel devices & for that reason, it is also known as GCam Mod. This application has advanced features such as manual focus, ISO adjustment, and custom exposure settings that are impossible to get in a regular stock camera.

I have personally used it and found out that the ability to shoot high-quality time-lapse videos is one of the attractive features of this application. Unlike many built-in camera applications, it gives you more freedom and control over the recording process which allows you to adjust each aspect.

A Short Introduction to Time-Lapse Videos

The time-lapse technique is mainly used for shooting movies where frames are captured at a much lower rate than normal. When these types of videos are played, they tend to time-advance at a faster-than-normal speed. It seems like life goes by so fast like hours of clouds drifting by, traffic flowing, flowers blooming, or the sun setting, appear to happen really fast.

Imagine if you took a picture every few seconds, minutes, or hours of something like clouds moving in the sky. After a while, when you combine all those pictures and play them quickly, it looks like the clouds are zooming across the sky! That’s what time-lapse actually does. It speeds up the time needed to see changes that usually take a long time.

Adjust Settings for Perfect Time-Lapse Recording

In the field of photography, whenever we go to take a short or record a perfect video, we have to adjust various settings and there is no exception in the case of time-lapse video recording. So let’s see what settings we need to adjust properly first.

Frame Rate and Interval: First we need to set a time interval between different shots, for example, a 10-second interval will work well for slow-moving subjects (clouds or sunsets).
Resolution and Quality: You have to make sure that the resolution of the video recording is the best. For example, 1080p or 4K will give very good results especially if you want to share the video on a particular large screens platform like YouTube or Facebook.
Focus and Exposure: Manually set the focus while recording to avoid various unwanted objects coming to the fore. Also, adjust exposure based on lighting conditions so your video doesn’t end up too dark or too bright.
