•30 captured images compose a video of 1 second length. Since the minimum length of a video to be saved by your camcorder is one second, the interval defines how long the time lapse recording should be. For example, if you set the interval to “30 Sec,” time lapse recording should be set to at least 30 minutes to record a minimum video length of 2 seconds (60 images).
•Once time lapse recording finishes recording for the specified recording time, the camcorder switches to the standby mode.
•Press the Recording start/stop button if you want to stop time lapse recording.

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