Example of Time Lapse Recording
The Time Lapse Recording function
records image frames at the predefined
interval over the total recording time to
produce a time-lapse video.
For example, the Time Lapse
Recording is useful for filming in the
following situations:
• Blooming flowers
• A bird building a nest
• Clouds rolling by in the sky

(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.
25 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 “
30 Sec
,” time lapse recording should be
taken for at least 30 minutes to record a minimum video length of 2 seconds (50 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.
When a video recording fills up 1.8GB of storage memory, a new recording file is automatically
started at that point.
When the battery charge was exhausted during the time lapse recording, 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 the memory space of the storage media is insufficient during the time lapse recording, it
switches to the standby mode after saving the recording up to its maximum.
We recommend using the AC power adaptor for a time lapse recording.
