Editor: The quoted reference simply says ~
未找到和您的关键词 "time-lapse photography" 相匹配的词典解释。

Baidu's article on 慢速摄影 seems confused -- a mish-mash of information about low shutter speed photography and time-lapse photography, with a high shutter speed photo example!

Nciku, Bing, New Age and FLTRP (and probably others) all define 慢速摄影 as "low-speed cinematography". What does *that* mean? (Certainly, I'm not familiar with that term.) Well, there are only a dozen or so Google hits for "low-speed cinematography", and almost all of them occur on Chinese-related webpages. In other words, it looks like "low-speed cinematography" is a made-up word -- simply a mindless, word-by-word translation of 慢速摄影. And it seems the dictionaries all copied from each other.

nciku's Comprehensive English-Chinese Dictionary says ~
time-lapse
1. 慢速摄影的
2. adjective (为表现植物生长过程)慢转速拍摄后用普通转速放映的

Google Images @ 慢速摄影 shows many slow shutter speed photos with motion blur

One can also find references supporting this sense, ~
所谓的慢速摄影,一定是许多人都非常熟悉的效果,最常见的莫过于将水流排成丝绢,将夜晚的车流排成车水马龙流光溢彩的效果。

Google Video @ 慢速摄影 shows many videos which are NOT time-lapse, but SLOW-MOTION! (the opposite of time-lapse) as well as some time-lapse videos

IN SUMMARY: 慢速摄影 does not seem to have a clearly defined meaning in terms of cinematography. However, it does seem to be accepted that in still photography it can mean "slow (shutter) speed photography".

However, there appear to be many different terms in Chinese which *do* correspond to "time-lapse photography" ~

微速摄影
旷时摄影
缩时摄影
延时摄影
间隔摄影
定时摄影

And it's interesting to note that 缩时摄影 and 延时摄影 are synonymous!

延时摄影 is well-established -- Google hit count = 5 million plus -- but the others all appear to have some currency, too -- some of them more common in Taiwan, perhaps.

Some supporting quotes from the Web ~

Time Lapse 微速攝影 / 曠時攝影 / 縮時攝影

Time Lapse在WIKIPEDIA裡的解釋,縮時攝影是一種慢速攝影技術,有人翻譯成縮時攝影,有人叫曠時攝影。總之,不管怎麼翻譯,只要把 Time Lapse 當作是一種不按正常時間拍攝並播放的手法就可以囉!

所谓的微速摄影,简单地说就是让摄影机按比标准速度慢得多的时间间隔连续拍摄多张照片,然后再用这些照片制作成影片,以求在较短的时间内表达摄影对象

縮時攝影,Time Lapse,也稱曠時攝影、微速度攝影或者間隔攝影。

Baidu ~ 微速摄影,英文叫做timelapse。我们知道影片标准的拍摄速度是每秒24张画面。那么所谓的微速摄影,简单地说就是让摄影机按比标准速度慢得多的时间间隔连续拍摄

Hudong ~ 定时摄影是特殊摄影方法之一,它利用延时自动控制器进行定格摄影。

最近很流行的「縮時攝影」又稱「定時攝影」, 我喜歡叫它定時攝影,因我們大部份都是以DSLR用定時快門線拍攝後製而成
