For the RX100 III amd RX100 IV There is the Sony Time-Lapse Camera App In reply to carport888 • Feb 28, 2016 For those with the RX100 III and IV there is no need for an intervalometer.

I don't know that camera specifically. But I'd not rely on any built in time lapse feature or time lapse app in a camera. Mostly you won't be able to do more advanced stuff like holy grail shooting with it. Form my workshops I know that nearly all non DSLR cameras cause more or less problems when shooting time lapse like we would like to do. I'd at least make sure, that you can connect an external intervalometer. That would be my basic requirement so that I don't have to use any integrated time lapse feature. Yes - one of the benefits of the Sony timelapse app built into the camera is that it can allowing for 'AE tracking' which slowly adjusts the shutter to the changing exposure.
However, it's still a jump. It goes from 1sec -> 1.3 sec -> 1.6 sec -> 2sec. Basically 1/3 of a stop per jump. And there's still a small difference in luminosity when they make the jump. Isn't this basically what qDslrDashboard does anyways?
That is, slowly ramping up the shutter speed for a sunset timelapse? And in that case, do you need to do a holygrail workflow? 
Normally, when you shoot Holy Grail you do much bigger steps (1/3 stops minimum) that's what the HG Wizard compensates for. In your case you have much smoother adjustments (other cameras do this too in A Mode) - but still the exif values show 1/3 stops. However this does not correspond with the luminosity changes.
If HG-Wizard would be enabled, it would compensate for changes that are not there in reality (only in exif) thus making things worse. Just use the visual deflicker at the end of the workflow if there is still need to smoothen anything. That was very comprehensive, thanks!
I bought this camera (the Sony RX100v) primarily as a small companion camera to shoot timelapses with. Its timelapse app was one of the highlights for me. Im guessing its AE tracking feature works better than other cameras in Aperture Priority mode, since presumably it wont be confused by a momentary change in brightness (e.g. From an oncoming car).
But otherwise, what am I missing when I shooting in its AE tracking mode as opposed to doing Manual mode and adjusting exposures manually (by 1 stop increments, for example)?
