Move to
Time-lapse rec. speed
, and set the recording speed for the time-lapse mode by holding down and
dragging the pointer. You can set the speed from 30 to 1/30 seconds. The value of the recording speed is the time
to record one image. Therefore the lower the value, the more images are recorded during the same time. For
example:
30
means one image per 30 seconds will be recorded,
1
means one image per second, and
1/30
means
that 30 images per second.
NOTE:
When the recording speed is set to higher than
1/2 sec.
(less than two images per second), recorded
audio will NOT be played.
NOTE:
The PDR16-RMT-X, PDR16-RMT-LIVE-X, PDR32-RMT and PDR32-RMT-X models
have a maximum
recording speed of 240 images per second (200 images for PAL) that will be applied globally depending on the
number of cameras recorded. However, this maximum recording speed can be decreased when using more
than eight cameras. The PDR16-RMT, PDR16-RMT-LIVE and PDR32-HYB models have a maximum recording
speed of 120 images per second (100 images for PAL), and this maximum recording speed can be decreased
when using more than four cameras
.
See
Appendix 11 –
Specifications
for the maximum recording speed of
each model.

for PDR16-RMT-LIVE, PDR16-RMT-LIVE-X and
PDR16-RMT-RT models

, and set the record image quality by holding down and dragging the pointer. You
can select the resolution from

320x240
(
352x240(288)
for PDR16-RMT-LIVE, PDR16-RMT-LIVE-X and PDR16-RMT-RT models
)
and
Medium
regardless of setting values of
