It may be useful if using the camera for extended periods of time to connect it to a 
power source (e.g. power bank). 

Note: Whilst in this mode the camera will stop recording after no movement is 
detected. Switch Motion Detection to OFF if you would like to capture footage 
normally. 

Tip: This mode works best when the camera is locked in position (e.g. on a tripod). 

 

Time lapse 

Time-lapse is a creative technique that records footage at a very low frame rate. 
Playing it back at a higher frame rate shows a rapid change over time. This 
technique is most effective when recording scenes or objects which have a slow 
state of change, e.g. a sunset or a flower blossoming. 

This option captures video at specified intervals without audio ready for playback 
and sharing. 

Time lapse can be set to the following intervals 1/2/5/10/30/60 seconds. 

The following chart is useful for determining the amount of time required for 1min of 
footage at 30fps: 

Interval 

Recording Time 

30 mins 

1 hour 

2.5 hours 

10 

5 hours 

30 

15 hours 

60 

30 hours 

Note: Time lapse Video is only available when shooting at 30FPS. If the FPS is 
higher than 30fps the option will be inactive/disabled. 

Tip: The camera may be plugged into a power bank/power source to extend the 
battery life and allow you to shoot for extended periods of time. This is very useful 
for recording long time lapses. 

The greater the interval the more dramatic the effect.
