Shooting Time-lapse Movies

The camera can automatically capture still images at a specified interval to create time-lapse movies that are approximately 10 seconds long.

When the Frame rate setting of the movie menu is set to 30 fps (30p/ 60p), 300 images are captured and saved with e1080/30p. When set to 25 fps (25p/50p), 250 images are captured and saved with p1080/ 25p.
