The Time Lapse Recording function records image frames at a predefined interval over the total recording time to produce a

time-lapse video.

Timeline For example, the Time Lapse Recording is useful for filming in the following situations:

Time for recording on the storage media (a video of the Time Lapse Recording)

•Time Lapse Recording mode is released once recording has been finished. To start another Time Lapse Recording, repeat steps 1 to 6 on the previous page.

•According to the video resolution, 50 or 25 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 for the Time Lapse Recording to at least 25 or 13 minutes to record a minimum video length of 1 second (50 or 25 images).

•Press the [Recording start/stop] button if you want to stop the Time Lapse Recording.

•Audio is not recorded during time lapse recording.

•The maximum continuous recording time is under 20 minutes. The maximum video file size is 1.8GB. When a video recording time is more than 20 minutes or a video file exceeds 1.8GB, a new video file is created automatically.

•If the battery charge is exhausted during time lapse recording, the camcorder saves recording up to that point and switches to standby mode. After a while, it displays a warning message, then turns off automatically.

•If the storage media becomes full during time lapse recording, the camcorder switches to the standby mode after saving the recording up to the maximum memory available.

•We recommend using the power adaptor for a Time Lapse Recording instead of the battery.

• When a time lapse recording starts, the message of Time Lapse Recording will blink even if you switch the information display mode to the minimum display mode.	65
This is normal operation. Do not remove the power source or memory card from the camcorder.
