3-5 Recording in intervals
(INTERVAL REC function)
This unit enables recording in intervals with a minimum
recording time in increments of one frame, by using the built-
in memory.
In order to use this function, it is necessary to use the menu
operations to open the <REC FUNCTION> screen from the
SYSTEM SETTING page, select the interval recording mode
by using the INTERVAL REC MODE item (INTERVAL REC
MODE: ON), and set the recording time (REC TIME), interval
pause time (PAUSE TIME), and time required for shooting
(TAKE TOTAL TIME). Upon completion of the settings, the
total shooting time (TOTAL REC TIME) is automatically
calculated and displayed.
INTERVAL REC MODE
OFF: Interval recording is not performed.
ON: Interval recording is performed.
ONE SHOT:
One-shot interval recording is performed for the time
which was selected by the REC TIME setting.
INTERVAL REC HOLD
ON: When the power is turned off, the INTERVAL REC
MODE settings are retained.
OFF:When the power is turned off, the INTERVAL REC
MODE settings are released.
Procedure for shooting in the ON modes of
INTERVAL REC
1
After performing the basic operations for shooting and
recording as set forth in “3-2 Basic procedures,” secure
the unit in such a way that it will not move.
2
Press the unit’s REC START button or the VTR button on
the lens. Interval recording now starts. When the set
TOTAL TAKE TIME has elapsed, recording is ended
automatically.
As mentioned in “2-7 Display window and its displays,”
“i” flashes when the INTERVAL REC mode is selected.
As soon as recording starts, “iREC” lights. During rec-
pause, “iREC” flashes. Exactly what mode is
established in the unit can be ascertained by observing
these displays.
The same displays as the ones in the display window also
appear inside the viewfinder, and the TALLY lamp lights
while recording is underway. Further, when the pause time
has been set to 2 minutes or more, the tally lamp blinks at 5
second intervals to inform the operator. Further, when
pause time has been set to 2 minutes or more, the tally
lamp blinks at 5 second intervals to indicate when recording
is paused. Under these conditions, the tally lamp will also
flash 3 seconds before recording starts.
