Camcorder operation in the continuous trigger mode
of the Manual Interval Rec mode
Follow the procedure below to shoot pictures in the continuous trigger
mode of the Manual Interval Rec mode.
Note
When you use cassettes on which nothing is recorded, such as brand new
cassettes, be sure to record color bars for more than 2 seconds at the
beginning of a cassette.
1 After performing the basic procedures for shooting and recording
following the instructions in “3-2-1 Basic Procedures”, (page 3-6),
secure the camcorder so that it will not move.
2 Push the VTR START button on the camcorder or the VTR button
on the lens.
The camcorder starts recording in the continuous trigger mode of the
Manual Interval Rec mode, and the flashing cycle of the TALLY
indicator (green) changes from 1 flash/second to 4 flashes/second,
and the message “INTERVAL *SEC *FRAME” flashes on the
viewfinder screen.
After you press the VTR START button or VTR button, the
camcorder stores preset number of frames at the preset trigger
intervals. However, when you use the PRE-LIGHTING function, the
light turns on when you press the VTR START button. After the
preset PRE-LIGHTING time has elapsed, the camcorder captures the
picture in the memory. The camcorder stores picture data (for about
5 seconds) in memory, and actually records the stored picture data
on the tape. Thus, the tape runs intermittently. The REC indicator
(red) is on while the camcorder is capturing the picture in the
memory.
