When the camcorder power is switched off during
recording in Auto Interval Rec mode
• When you set the POWER switch to OFF, the camcorder
will switch off by itself after disc access has continued
for a few seconds to record the picture data stored in
memory.
• If you remove the battery, unplug the DC cable, or cut
power to the AC adaptor during auto interval recording,
picture data stored before recording stops (a maximum
of ten seconds) may be lost. Take care when changing
the battery.
Manual Interval Rec mode settings and
shooting
Manual Interval Rec has the following two modes.
Single shot mode: Each time the REC START button or
VTR button on the lens is pressed, the camcorder
captures to memory a single shot consisting of the
specified number of video frames.
Consecutive mode: Once the REC START button or VTR
button on the lens is pressed, the camcorder captures
consecutive shots to memory at the specified interval,
with each shot consisting of the specified number of
video frames.
