The settings for Auto Interval Rec mode are maintained
until changed. However, if you switch off the camcorder
power, Auto Interval Rec mode is cleared except for the
TAKE TOTAL TIME, REC TIME and PRE-LIGHTING
settings. To use the Auto Interval Rec function again after
switching on the power, perform steps
1
to
6
.
Recording in Auto Interval Rec mode
Proceed as follows:
When you use cassettes on which nothing is recorded, such
as brand new cassettes, be sure to record color bars for
more than 2 seconds at the beginning of a cassette.
1
After performing the basic procedures for shooting
and recording, following the instructions in
“3-2-1
Basic Procedures” (page 37) , secure the camcorder so
that it will not move.
2
Press the VTR START button on the camcorder or the
VTR button on the lens.
The camcorder starts recording in Auto Interval Rec
mode. When you use the PRE-LIGHTING function,
recording starts after the light is switched on.
The actual recording to disc begins when the
camcorder has saved about five seconds of video in
memory, so disc access is intermittent.
While recording in Auto Interval Rec mode, the
TALLY indicator (green) in the viewfinder flashes (4
flashes/second) and the message “AUTO INTERVAL
**M**S” flashes on the viewfinder screen.
When the camcorder is capturing the picture in
memory, the REC indicator in the viewfinder lights.
After the length of time for recording on the tape (REC
TIME) has elapsed, the camcorder automatically stops
recording.
To continue auto interval recording
Press the VTR START button on the camcorder or the
VTR button on the lens again.
The camcorder starts recording in Auto Interval Rec mode
again.
To interrupt auto interval recording
Press the VTR START button or the VTR button on the
lens. The camcorder stops recording.
However, the tape may run for recording picture data
already stored in memory.
To end auto interval recording
You can exit Auto Interval Rec mode using the following
two methods:
• Set the POWER switch to OFF.
• Set CACHE/INTVAL REC to OFF on the FUNCTION
1 page.
Time required for shooting and time required for
recording on the tape
Auto Interval Rec mode is effective for shooting objects
that move very slowly. To use this function, you need to set
the total time for shooting (TAKE TOTAL TIME) and the
length of time for recording on the tape (REC TIME).
The time required for shooting is the time required to
capture the very slowly moving subject, and the camcorder
must be arranged so that during this time the subject is
always in the frame.
The tape recording time indicates the running time of the
completed recording. The camcorder calculates the time-
lapse interval from these two times.
Note the following points.
Time code
In Auto Interval Rec mode, the internal time code
generator runs in R-RUN mode regardless of how the F-
RUN/SET/R-RUN switch is set.
The actual time of the shooting is saved in the user bits.
When you need to set the internal clock, use the TIME
DATE page of the DIAGNOSIS menu.
For details, see “5-3-6 Setting the Date/Time of the
Internal Clock” on page 92.
Audio
Audio signals are not recorded in Auto Interval Rec mode.
Cassette control buttons
While recording in Auto Interval Rec mode, you cannot
use the cassette control buttons (EJECT, REW, F FWD,
PLAY and STOP). To use these buttons, stop recording by
pressing the VTR START button or the VTR button on the
lens.
