•Time lapse recording mode is released once recording has been finished. To start another Time Lapse Recording, repeat steps 1 through 5.

•50 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 you set defines how long the time lapse recording should be. For example, if you set the interval to “5 Sec,” total recording time should be set to at least 4 minute 10 seconds to record a minimum video length of 1 seconds (50 images).

•Once the time lapse recording finishes recording for its total recording time, it switches to the standby mode.

•Press the Recording start/stop button if you want to stop the time lapse recording.

•Audio is not recorded during time lapse recording.

•If a video recording fills up 1.8GB of storage memory, a new recording file is automatically started at that point.

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

•If memory runs out during a Time Lapse REC, the camcorder switches to standby mode after saving what was recorded so far.

•During Time Lapse REC, the zoom and focus functions are fixed so that you cannot change the settings. Even if the subject is moved, you cannot change the focus.

•When a time lapse recording starts, the “Time Lapse Recording” message blinks on the screen and it appears that the screen has stopped. This is a normal operation; do not remove the power source or memory card from the camcorder.
