3-2 Recording
3-2-5 Time-Lapse Video (Interval
Rec Function)
Using the memory in the camcorder, you can capture time-
lapse video. There are two modes for this function, which
is known as “Interval Rec.”
• Auto Interval Rec mode
In Auto Interval Rec mode, pictures are automatically
shot a frame at a time at the specified interval and stored
in memory. To use this function you must set the total
time for shooting (TAKE TOTAL TIME) and the length
of time for recording on the disc (REC TIME).
• Manual Interval Rec mode
A specified number of frames (NUMBER OF FRAME)
is recorded when you press the REC START button or
the lens VTR button.
There are two Manual Interval Rec modes: a single shot
mode in which recording is done once with each press of
the button, and a consecutive mode in which recording is
done repeatedly at a specified interval after the button is
pressed.
A pre-lighting function is available in Auto Interval Rec
mode and the consecutive mode of Manual Interval Rec
mode. This function automatically turns on the light before
recording starts, which allows you to record pictures under
stable light and color temperature conditions.
Note
The camcorder cannot be put into Interval Rec mode when
the scanning mode is 24P (with the CBK-FC01 expansion
board (see page 130) installed).
