Example of Time Lapse REC
Time Lapse REC records image frames at the predefined
interval over the total recording time to produce a time-
lapse video.
Time Lapse REC is useful for fi lming in the following
situations:
• Blooming flowers
• Insect’s skin-casting
• Clouds rolling by in the sky
• This function is disabled after being used one time.
• For Time Lapse REC, the [HD]720/50p resolution and Super Fine quality are supported only.
• 50 captured images compose a video of 1 second length. Since the minimum length of a video to be saved by your
camcorder is one second, the interval defines how long the Time Lapse Recording should be taken. For example, if you
set the interval to “
3 Sec
,” Time Lapse Recording should be taken for at least 3 minutes to record a minimum video
length of 1 second (50 images).
• Once the Time Lapse REC finishes recording for its total recording time, it switches to the standby mode.
• Press
the
Recording start/stop
button if you want to stop the Time Lapse REC.
• Audio is not recorded during Time Lapse Recording.
• When a video recording fills up 1.8GB of storage media, a new recording file is automatically started at that point.
• When the battery is exhausted during Time Lapse REC, it saves recording up to that point and switches to standby
mode. After a while, it displays a warning message, then turns off automatically.
• When memory runs out while performing Time Lapse REC, the camcorder switches to the standby mode after saving
what was recorded so far.
• During Time Lapse REC, the zoom and focus functions are fixed so that you cannot change the settings.
Even though the subject is moved, the focus cannot be changed.
• We recommend using the AC power adaptor when using the Time Lapse REC function.
