Time Lapse Recording is useful for filming in the following situations:
•Blooming flowers
•A bird building a nest
•Clouds rolling by in the sky
•This function is shut off after being used one time.
•25 captured images compose a video of 1 second length. Since the minimum length of a video your camcorder can save is one second, the interval defines how long the Time Lapse Recording should be. For example, if you set the interval to "30 Sec," total recording tme should be set to at least 15 minutes to record a minimum video length of 1 second (25 images).
•Once the Time Lapse REC finishes recording for its total recording time, the camcorder switches to the standby mode.
•Press the Recording start/stop (
) button if you want to stop the Time Lapse REC.
•Audio is not recorded during Time Lapse Recording.
•If a video recording fills up 3.8GB of storage media, a new recording file is automatically started at that point.
•If the battery charge is exhausted during Time Lapse REC, the camcorder saves the recording up to that point, and then switches to standby mode. After a while, it displays a warning message, then turns off automatically.
•If memory runs out during a Time Lapse REC, the camcorder switches to the standby mode after saving what was recorded so far.
•We recommend using the AC power adaptor when using the Time Lapse REC function.
