Example of Time Lapse Recording
The Time Lapse Recording function records image frames at the predefined interval over the
total recording time to produce a time-lapse video.
Time Lapse Recording is useful for filming the following subjects:
- Blooming flowers
- A bird building a nest
- Clouds rolling by in the sky

Time for recording on the
storage media (a video of the
Time Lapse Recording.)
• The camcorder turns off the Time Lapse Recording mode when recording is finished. To start
another Time Lapse Recording, repeat Steps 1-5.
• 60 captured images comprise a video lasting 1 second. Since the minimum length of a video your
camcorder can save is one second, the interval you set defines how long the time lapse recording
will be. For example, if you set the interval to “30 Sec,” you should set the Rec. Limit to at least 30
minutes to record a minimum video of 1 second (60 images).
• Once the Time Lapse Recording has run for the time you set in Rec Limit and finishes recording, it
switches to the standby mode.
• Press the Recording start/stop button if you want to stop the Time Lapse Recording.
• The camcorder does not record audio during Time Lapse Recording.
• If a video recording fills up 3.8GB of storage memory, the camcorder automatically starts a new
recording file at that point.
• If the battery charge is exhausted during the Time Lapse recording, the camcorder saves the
recording up to that point, and then switches to standby mode. After some time, it displays a
warning message, then turns off automatically.
• If memory space runs out during the Time Lapse Recording, the camcorder switches to standby
mode after saving the recording up to its maximum.
• We recommend using the AC power adaptor for a Time Lapse Recording.
