Time lapse recording mode is released once recording has been finished. To start another Time Lapse Recording, repeat steps 1 to 3.
When the camcorder sets the Fader function to On or exits from the Art Film mode, the Time Lapse REC function is automatically set to Off.
50 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 “
5 Sec
”, time lapse recording should be set to at least 9 minutes to record a minimum
video length of 2 seconds (100 images).
Time lapse REC function lets the camcorder record up to 72 hours until you stop recording or turn the camcorder’s power off.
Once time lapse recording finishes the camcorder switches to the standby mode.
You cannot pause recording during Time lapse recording.
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.
