TOTAL TIME and REC TIME. To change the settings, stop recording by pressing the VTR START button or the VTR button on the lens.

When the camcorder power is switched off during recording in Auto Interval Rec mode

When you set the POWER switch to OFF, the camcorder will switch off by itself after the tape has run for a few seconds to record the picture data stored in memory.

If you remove the battery, unplug the DC cable, or cut power to the AC adaptor during auto interval recording, picture data stored before recording stops (a maximum of 5 seconds) may be lost. Take care when changing the battery.

When tape runs out during auto interval recording

Note that picture data (a maximum of 5 seconds) shot and stored before the tape stops is not recorded if the tape runs out and the camcorder stops.
