Special Recording Modes
Special Recording Modes
The camcorder features 4 special recording modes.
Interval recording ([Interval Rec]): The camcorder will automatically record a pre-defined number of frames at a pre-
defined interval. This mode is suitable for recording subjects with little movement, such as natural surroundings or plants.
Frame recording ([Frame Rec]): The camcorder will record a pre-defined number of frames every time you press
the START/STOP button. This mode is suitable for recording stop motion animation.
Slow & fast motion recording ([Slow & Fast Motion]): This mode allows you to change the shooting frame rate to
achieve a slow motion or fast motion effect during playback.
Pre-recording ([Pre Rec]): The camcorder will start recording approximately 3 seconds before you press the
START/STOP button. This is especially useful when it is difficult to predict when to start recording.
