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

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

3 • Auto Interval Rec mode

In Auto Interval Rec mode, pictures are automatically shot a frame at a time at the specified interval and stored in memory. To use this function you must 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.

• Manual Interval Rec mode

There are two kinds of Manual Interval Rec mode:

—Single trigger mode

Setting the number of frames to be recorded at one shooting (NUMBER OF FRAME) enables the camcorder to record the number of frames preset each time the VTR START button or the VTR button on the lens is pressed.

—Continuous trigger mode

Pictures are automatically shot by preset frames at preset intervals by pressing the VTR START button or the VTR button on the lens.

In the Auto Interval Rec and continuous trigger modes of the Manual Interval Rec mode, by setting the PRE-LIGHTING function to ON, the light connected to the LIGHT connector automatically turns on before recording starts. This allows you to record pictures under the stable light and color temperature conditions.
