Note
The settings for Auto Interval Rec mode are maintained until changed.
However, if you switch off the camcorder power, Auto Interval Rec
mode is cleared except for the TAKE TOTAL TIME, REC TIME and
PRE-LIGHTING settings. To use the Auto Interval Rec function again
after switching on the power, perform steps 1 to 6.

Follow the procedure below to shoot and record the picture in Auto
Interval Rec mode after turning on Auto Interval Rec mode and making
the required settings.
Note
When you use cassettes on which nothing is recorded, such as brand new

following the instructions in “3-2-1 Basic Procedures” (page 3-6),
secure the camcorder so that it will not move.

on the lens.

Rec mode, the TALLY indicator (green) in the viewfinder flashes (4
