This function is disabled after being used one time. To use it again, you must reset it.

30 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 total recording time should be. For example, if you set the interval to "30 Sec," total recording time should be set to at least 15 minutes to record a minimum video length of 1 second (30 images).

Once the Time Lapse REC finishes recording for its total recording time, it switches to standby mode.

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

Audio is not recorded during Time Lapse Recording.

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

If the battery is exhausted during Time Lapse REC, 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.

We recommend using the AC power adaptor when using the Time Lapse REC function.

When a time lapse recording starts, a message of "Time Lapse Recording" blinks on the screen and it appears as if the screen is stopped. This is normal, Do not remove the power source or memory card from the camcorder.
