3-2-6 Shooting Pictures at Intervals (Interval Rec Function) (When Using the HKDW-703)

Inserting the optional HKDW-703 extension board (not supplied) in the camcorder, enables the camcorder to record pictures intermittently. There are two kinds of Interval Rec modes: auto Interval Rec mode and

manual Interval Rec mode.3 In auto Interval Rec mode, pictures are automatically shot a frame at a

time at the specified interval and stored in memory. When up to 150 frames are stored in memory, the camcorder records them to tape. To use this function you need to set the total time for shooting (TAKE TOTAL TIME) and the time to be recorded on the tape (REC TIME) on the FUNCTION 1 page of the USER menu. Also, by setting the PRE- LIGHTING function to ON, the light connected to the LIGHT connector automatically turns on before starting recording. This allows you to record pictures under the stable light condition.

In manual Interval Rec mode, setting the number of frames to be recorded at one shooting (NUMBER OF FRAME) enables the camcorder to record the picture of the number of frames set each time the VTR START button or the VTR button on the lens is pressed.

Setting the auto Interval Rec

To record in auto Interval Rec mode, you need to turn on auto Interval Rec and set the total time from starting to finishing shooting (TAKE TOTAL TIME) and time to be recorded on the tape (REC TIME), using the USER menu.

Note

To make settings for auto Interval Rec mode, set TAKE TOTAL TIME first, then REC TIME.

To turn on the light automatically before starting recording by setting the PRE-LIGHTING item to ON, be sure to set the LIGHT switch to AUTO.
