• 30 captured images compose a video of 1 second length. Since the minimum length of a video
your camcorder can save is one second, the interval defines how long the Time Lapse Recording
should be. For example, if you set the interval to "30 Sec," total recording time should be set to at
least 15 minutes to record a minimum video length of 1 second (30 images).
• Once the Time Lapse REC finishes recording for its total recording time, the camcorder switches to
standby mode.

• Audio is not recorded during Time Lapse Recording.
• If a video recording fills up 3.8GB of storage media, a new recording file is automatically started at
that point.
• If the battery charge is exhausted during Time Lapse REC, the camcorder saves the recording up
to that point, and then switches to standby mode. After a while, it displays a warning message,
then turns off automatically.
• If memory runs out during a Time Lapse REC, the camcorder switches to standby mode after
saving what was recorded so far.
