Time Lapse Recording mode is released once recording has been finished. To start another Time Lapse Recording, repeat steps 1 to 6 on the previous page.
Depending on the video resolution, 60 or 30 captured images compose a video of 1 second length. Since the minimum length of a video that your camcorder can save
is one second, the interval defines the total minimum recording time for the Time Lapse Recording. For example, if you set the interval to 30 Sec, you need to set the
recording time to at least 30 minutes for a 60 frames per second resolution or 15 minutes for a 30 frames per second resolution to record a video 1 second long.
Press the [Recording start/stop] button if you want to stop the Time Lapse Recording.
Audio is not recorded during time lapse recording.
The maximum continuous recording time is under 20 minutes. The maximum video file size is 1.8GB. When a video recording time is more than 20 minutes or a video
file exceeds 1.8GB, a new video file is created automatically.
If the battery charge is exhausted during time lapse recording, the camcorder saves recording up to that point and switches to standby mode. After a while, it displays a
warning message, then turns off automatically.
If the storage media becomes full during time lapse recording, the camcorder switches to the standby mode after saving the recording up to the maximum memory
available.
We recommend using the power adaptor for a Time Lapse Recording instead of the battery.
When a time lapse recording starts, the Time Lapse Recording message will blink even if you switch the information display mode to the minimum display mode.
This is normal operation. Do not remove the power source or memory card from the camcorder. •
