(Interval Rec Function)
The interval recording (Interval Rec) function is effective
for shooting objects that move very slowly. As shown in
the following figure, you need to set the recording time for
one recording session (NUMBER OF FRAME) and the
total time consisting of one recording session and the
following interval (INTERVAL TIME).
A pre-lighting function is available. This function
automatically turns on the light before recording starts,
which allows you to record pictures under stable light and
color temperature conditions.
