Using the ProScope HR as a Video Camera

To use your scope as a "video camera," click on the "Video" tab at the top of the screen. To
start recording, click on the "Capture" button (or press the button on the handle of the scope).
To stop recording, click on the "Capture" button (or scope button) again. To play and watch
your video, go to the thumbnails at the bottom of the screen, click on the video, and then click
on the "play" button.
To record a time-lapse movie, click on the "Time Lapse" tab at the top of the screen. To start
recording, click on the "Capture" button (or press the button on the handle of the scope). To
stop recording, click on the "Capture" button (or scope button) again. To play and watch your
time-lapse move, go to the thumbnails at the bottom of the screen, click on the video, and then
click on the "play" button.
To set up your preferences for the time-lapse movie, go to the left-hand side of the screen
where it says "Preferences," and click on "Time Lapse Movies." From there you will choose
how many total pictures you want to record (where it says "Recording Count"). Then, under
"Recording Interval," you will note how often you want a "snapshot" to be taken—such as one
shot every 30 minutes, one shot every hour, etc. [The "HH" indicates hours, the "MM" indicates
minutes, and the "SS" indicates seconds.]
As an example, if you set it up to capture 55 pictures, one picture every minute, you must wait
55 minutes for the process to complete. After it completes, the software automatically combines
those images into a movie that you can play back. You have to leave the scope set up and
stationary (the stand works best) for the full duration of the capture. Usually this is done over a
number of hours or days in order to capture something that moves or changes very slowly.
