Example of 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 the following subjects:
• Blooming flowers
• A bird building a nest
• Clouds rolling by in the sky

Time for recording on the
storage media (a video clip of
Time Lapse REC)
(The time lapse video file appears with
the Time Lapse REC (
) icon.)
Time lapse recording mode is released once recording has been finished. To start another Time
Lapse Recording, repeat steps 1-5.
30 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. For example, if you set the interval to “
30 Sec
,” time lapse recording should be set to at
least 30 minutes to record a minimum video length of 2 seconds (60 images).
Once time lapse recording finishes recording for the specified recording time, the camcorder
switches to the standby mode.
Press the
Recording start/stop
button if you want to stop 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.
We recommend using the AC power adaptor for a time lapse recording.
