• Depending on the video resolution, 60 or 30 captured images compose a video of 1 second length. Since the minimum length of a video that your camcorder can save |
| |||||||||||
is one second, the interval defines the total minimum recording time for the Time Lapse Recording. For example, if you set the interval to 30 Sec, you need to set the |
| |||||||||||
recording time to at least 30 minutes for a 60 frames per second resolution or 15 minutes for a 30 frames per second resolution to record a video 1 second long. |
