Take Test Shots
We recommend taking a test shot and viewing the results in the monitor before re-
cording movies at a setting of Time-lapse movie.
During Recording
To save power, the monitor turns off between frames; the green (AF) lamp blinks to
show that recording is in progress. The monitor turns on automatically about ten
seconds before the camera takes the next shot. Time-lapse photography will end
automatically if the camera is unable to fi nish recording a frame in the selected interval
(this may occur if a microdrive or other memory card with a slow write time is used).
Use a Reliable Power Source
We recommend using the optional EH-53 AC adapter or EH-21 AC adapter/battery
charger when recording time-lapse photos at intervals of ten minutes or more.
