This function is convenient for nature observation such as flowers, sunsets, etc. You can select the interval time from 30 sec., 1 min., 5 min. and 10 min., and the recording time from 0.5 sec., 1 sec., 1.5 sec. and 2 sec.

VCR Stop

Slow Shutter Settings

Whether your aim is a “streaming” background when panning or brighter recording in low light, you can choose from three slow shutter settings –1/30, 1/15 and 1/8 of a second.
