What is Time-lapse Capture?
In Time-lapse Capture mode, photos are taken sequentially at regular intervals. From these
photos, you can create a movie by using the application for computers PlayMemories Home
(Windows OS: ver. 5.1 or later, Mac OS: ver. 3.1 or later).
You can express events that take place over a long time, such as the transition of the sky,
and growth of plants, in a short period.
