Time required for shooting and time required for recording on the tape
The Auto Interval Rec mode is effective for shooting objects that moves very slowly. You do, however, need to set the total time for shooting (TAKE TOTAL TIME) and the time for recording on the tape (REC TIME).
3 The time for shooting is the time required to shoot objects that moves very slowly. The camcorder stores the picture data a frame at a time as it is shot at the certain specified interval and records the picture data on tape when up to the picture data for about 5 seconds are stored in memory.
The time for recording on the tape is the length of recording the picture data shot during TAKE TOTAL TIME.
The camcorder calculates the shooting interval based on two set values: TAKE TOTAL TIME and REC TIME.
