Animation Recording

The adjustable time-lapse feature also lets you create animation recording-"car tooning". For example, you can make an object

positions. When the tape is played back, the object appears animated.

pages 18 and 19.

INTERVAL MAN.

When this display appears, the camcorder will record for

approximately one second

each time you press the PAUSE button or the Record Start/

Stop button (thumb trigger).

5.Position your object as desired for the first shot, and then

press the thumb trigger (or PAUSE button). The camcorder will record briefly and then pause. Don't move the object yet.

6.Continue shooting the object in this position for a few more

l-second shots before moving it.

Note: When preparing an animated video, it's usually best to get 3 to 5 shots of the object in the same position. You'll want to experiment with how many shots you take

each time to get smooth motion.

7.Slightly move the object and shoot a few 1-second shots of

it in this position. Continue shooting and moving the object(s) as desired.

8.To stop animation recording, press the TIME LAPSE button to remove the INTERVAL

display from the viewfinder. Notes:

•The camcorder will automatically move the tape away from the heads if you do not record within five minutes. This

prevents the tape heads from wearing the tape. When you begin to record after a long pause, the word STANDBY will appear briefly in the viewfinder while the camcorder repositions the tape against the headwheel.

•Rainbow noise (a vertical colored bar) may occasionally appear in the picture during playback.

Note: The optional CRM020 lets you remotely start and stop recording up to 15 feet away from the camcorder. The plug on the CRM020 is specially designed so you can attach both the CRM020 and the audio/video output cable to the camcorder at the same time. You will find this application especially convenient during animation recording or anytime you want to

control the camcorder from a distance. See pages 44 and 45 for optional accessories.
