Time Lapse REC records image frames at the predefi ned interval over the total recording time to produce a
Time Lapse REC is useful for fi lming in the following situations:
•Blooming fl owers
•Insect’s skin-casting
•Clouds rolling by in the sky
0:39:59/0:59:59 | 0:59:58/0:59:59 |
•This function is disabled after being used one time.
•25 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 defi nes how long the Time Lapse Recording should be set for. For example, if you set the interval to “30Sec,” Time Lapse Recording should be set for at least 15 minutes to record a minimum video length of 1 second (25 images).
•Once the Time Lapse REC fi nishes recording for its total recording time, it switches to standby mode.
•Press the Recordingstart/stop button if you want to stop the Time Lapse REC.
•Audio is not recorded during Time Lapse Recording.
•When a video recording fi lls up 1.8GB of storage media, a new recording fi le is automatically started at that point.
•When the battery is discharged exhausted during Time Lapse REC, it saves recording up to that point and switches to standby mode. After a while, it displays a warning message, then turns off automatically.
•When memory runs out while performing Time Lapse REC, the camcorder switches to standby mode after saving what was recorded so far.
•We recommend using the AC power adaptor when using the Time Lapse REC function.
•When a time lapse recording starts, a message of“TimeLapseRecording” blinks on the screen and it appeared to be as if the screen is stopped. This is a normal operation; do not remove the power source or memory card from the camcorder.
