Example of Time Lapse Recording
The Time Lapse Recording function records image frames at the predefi ned interval over the
total recording time to produce a time-lapse video.
For example, the Time Lapse Recording is useful for fi lming in the following situations:
- Blooming fl owers
- A bird building a nest
- Clouds rolling by in the sky

• Time Lapse Recording mode is released once recording has been fi nished. To start another Time
Lapse Recording, repeat steps 1-5.
• 25 captured images compose a video of 1 second length. Since the minimum length of a video
to be saved by your camcorder is one second, the interval defi nes how long the Time Lapse
Recording should be taken. For example, if you set the interval to "30 Sec," Time Lapse Recording
should be taken for at least 13 minutes to record a minimum video length of 1 second (25 images).
• Once the Time Lapse Recording fi nishes recording for its total recording time, it switches to the
standby mode.
• Press the Recording start/stop button if you want to stop the Time Lapse Recording.
• Audio is not recorded during Time Lapse Recording.
• When a video recording fi lls up 1.8GB of storage memory, a new recording fi le is automatically
started at that point.
• When the battery charge was exhausted during the Time Lapse recording, it saves recording up to
that point and switches to standby mode. After a while, it displays a warning message, then turns
off automatically.
• When the memory space of the storage media is insuffi cient during the Time Lapse Recording, it
switches to the standby mode after saving the recording up to its maximum.
• We recommend using the AC power adaptor for a Time Lapse Recording.
• When a time lapse recording starts, a message of "Time Lapse Recording" blinks on the screen
and it appeared to be as if the screen is stopped. This is a normal operation; do not remove the
power source or memory card from the camcorder.
