The Interval Recording (time-lapse recording)
function is especially effective for shooting
objects that move very slowly.
The specified number of frames are automatically
recorded at the specified intervals.
It is recommended to fix the camcorder to a tripod
or equivalent and use the IR Remote Commander
to start/stop recording rather than pressing the
REC START/STOP button of the camcorder.
Notes
• Interval Recording cannot be set to “On”
simultaneously with Frame Recording or Slow
& Quick Motion. When you set Interval
Recording to “On,” Frame Recording and Slow
& Quick Motion are forcibly set to “Off.”
• No audio recording is executed in Interval
Recording.
• Interval Recording cannot be performed if an
SP video format is selected with “Video
Format” and “i.LINK I/O” is set to “Enable”
with the OTHERS menu.
• Interval Recording cannot be performed if
“Video Format” of the OTHERS menu is set to
SP 1080/24P.
Before starting Interval Recording, make the
necessary settings on the CAMERA SET menu in
advance.
For details on menu operations, see “Basic Menu
