Using time-lapse playback
When you play back a move on the LFP using the time-lapse facility, the
head and lens perform the same motions as during normal playback, but
the LFP sends a camera trigger pulse to take a frame (single exposure) at
regular time intervals along the way. The resulting camera exposures can
then be played back later as a video which gives the illusion of
compressed time, where slow events occur quickly on the screen.
The controller also sends an auto-focus trigger pulse when it sends a
camera trigger pulse. For technical details, see
Camera trigger out on page
73 and Auto-focus and bloop trigger out on page 73.
