Taking Time-Lapse Movies - Pentax Optio MX Operating Manual

Taking Time-Lapse Movies

This mode lets you take movies at a delayed frame rate so that when you
play the movie back at the normal frame rate, the action appears
speeded up. For example, if you choose the ×2 setting, half the normal
number of frames will be taken, so that when you play the movie back at
the normal frame rate, the subject will move at twice the normal speed.
