TIME LAPSE RECORDING
This function is convenient to record the blooming of flowers, etc. as it starts and stops
recording at a predetermined interval.
For example, this function allows recording for one second after a pause of 30 seconds
and repeats this procedure.
1. In the record/pause (stand-by) mode, press "SELF TIMER/TIME LAPSE" button
repeatedly until the length of time you want between recordings appears in the
viewfinder.
• The display is changed from "SELF 30REC 0:10" to "SELF RECORD 0:10",
"INTERVAL 0:30 (30 seconds)" "INTERVAL 1:00 (1 minute)", "INTERVAL 2:00 (2
minutes)", "INTERVAL 5:00 (5 minutes)", "INTERVAL MAN (Manual)" and again to
"SELF 30REC 0:10" every time the button is pressed.
2. Press the record start/stop or "STILL (REC/PAUSE)" button.
• The clock starts counting, and when it reaches "0:00", a recording is performed for one
second, and then the record/pause (stand-by) mode is entered. After 30 seconds,
recording is repeated for another second.
3. Press the record start/stop or "STILL (REC/PAUSE)" button to stop recording.
