Video clip interval shooting
Video clip interval shooting is a special shooting technique that allows you to create a video clip
by capturing the images for each frame separately and in set intervals. The audio is not recorded
during the interval shooting, so the completed video clip will have no sound.
Example: Making a five-second video clip by capturing one frame every 20 seconds (for frame
rate X, the interval shooting will take 50 minutes).

NOTE
œ By fixing the settings for video clip interval shooting, the images of the slow changes in the
subject over time are captured more accurately. If interval shooting is performed with the digital
disk camera set to autofocus, program AE, and auto white balance, then each image may be
captured with slightly different settings making each image slightly different. To avoid this, set
AE lock (see page 92) and white balance lock (see page 96) and set the focus manually.
œ With video clip interval shooting, audio is not recorded; you can use the self-timer (see page
80) function.
About the video clip length and the frame rate setting
œ With video clip interval shooting, to make a one-second long video clip, you will need to capture
30 images if the frame rate setting is X and 15 images if the frame rat setting is W.
