Example of Time Lapse Recording
• Time lapse recording mode is released once recording
has been finished. To start another Time Lapse Recording,
repeat steps 1 through 5.
• 60 captured images compose a video of 1 second length.
Since the minimum length of a video your camcorder can
save is one second, the interval you set defines how long
the time lapse recording should be. For example, if you set
the interval to “
5 Sec
,” total recording time should be set
to at least 5 minute to record a minimum video length of
1 second (60 images).
• Once the time lapse recording 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 recording.
• Audio is not recorded during time lapse recording.
• If a video recording fills up 1.8GB of storage memory, a
new recording file is automatically started at that point.
• If the battery charge is exhausted during the time lapse
recording, the camcorder saves the recording up to that
point and switches to standby mode. After some time, it
displays a warning message, then turns off automatically.
• If memory runs out during a Time Lapse REC, the
camcorder switches to 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 if the
subject is moved, you cannot change the focus.
• When a time lapse recording starts, the “
Time Lapse
Recording
” message blinks on the screen and it appears
that the screen has stopped. This is a normal operation;
do not remove the power source or memory card from the
camcorder.
• We recommend using the AC power adaptor for a time
lapse recording.
• Pause function is not available during time lapse recording.
The Time Lapse Recording function records image frames at
a predefined interval over the total recording time to produce a
time-lapse video.
Time Lapse Recording is useful for filming in the following situations:
• Blooming flowers
• A bird building a nest
• Clouds rolling by in the sky
