Here is what I have done. I did a time lapse on the construction of our cabin in Colorado. Mt intervalometer (homebuilt) was set for one shot every 15 seconds. It would run for about eight hours shooting .jpg files. That went on for about 30 days. It didn't do to bad.
After I bought my Canon EOS t-6, still no built in intervalometer, but I did purchase an external one for about $30. I did a time lapse of a Christmas cactus blooming here in Arizona. I set the interval for one second, used .jpg files again, using a 64gb card the amount of frames available was 9999. I just set it up on a tripod, framed my shot turned everything on and let it do its thing. As far as exposure went, I used aperture priority and auto focus. It ran for eight hours non-stop and it was a good thing as there were only about 30-45 seconds of usable frames of the actual blooming. Don't be afraid to "over shoot", the more frames the smoother the final product. I then assembled everything in Apple's Final Cut Pro X. Hope this helped, and good luck, I'd like to know ho things turned out for you>
