• The camcorder turns off the Time Lapse Recording mode when recording is finished. To start another Time Lapse Recording, repeat Steps 1-5.

60 captured images comprise a video lasting 1 second. 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 will be. For example, if you set the interval to “30 Sec,” you should set the Rec. Limit to at least 30 minutes to record a minimum video of 1 second (60 images).

Once the Time Lapse Recording has run for the time you set in Rec Limit and finishes recording, it switches to the standby mode.

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

The camcorder does not record audio during Time Lapse Recording.

If a video recording fills up 3.8GB of storage memory, the camcorder automatically starts a new recording file at that point.

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

If memory space runs out during the Time Lapse Recording, the camcorder switches to standby

mode after saving the recording up to its maximum.
