After performing the basic procedures for shooting
and recording following the instructions in
, secure the camcorder
so that it will not move.
2
Push the VTR START button on the camcorder or the
VTR button on the lens.
The camcorder starts recording in Continuous Trigger
mode of Manual Interval Rec, and the flashing cycle of
the TALLY indicator (green) changes from 1 flash/
second to 4 flashes/second, and the message
INTERVAL *SEC *FRAME flashes on the viewfinder
screen.
When you use the PRE-LIGHTING function, the light
turns on when you press the VTR START button. After
the preset PRE-LIGHTING time has elapsed, the
camcorder captures the picture in the memory. The
camcorder stores picture data (about 5 seconds worth)
in memory, and then actually records the stored picture
data on the tape. As a result, the tape runs
intermittently. The REC indicator in the viewfinder is
on while the camcorder is capturing the picture in the
memory.
To stop recording in Continuous Trigger mode of
Manual Interval Rec
You can stop recording in Continuous Trigger mode of
Manual Interval Rec using the following two methods.
However, the tape may continue to run to record the picture
data stored in the memory at the instant the tape stopped.
• Press the VTR START button or the VTR button on the
lens.
• Set the POWER switch to OFF.
Take note of the following points which are common to
Single Trigger mode and Continuous Trigger mode.

generator runs in R-RUN mode regardless of how the F-
RUN/SET/R-RUN switch is set.
