Recording Video Intermittently (Interval Rec)

The Interval Rec function allows you to capture video intermittently to the unit’s internal memory. This function is an effective way to shoot slow-moving subjects.

When you start recording, the unit automatically records a specified number of frames (Number of Frames) at a specified interval time (Interval Time).

A: Shooting interval (Interval Time)

B: Number of frames in one take (Number of Frames)

Note

  • Only one special recording function, such as Interval Rec recording, can be used at any one time.
  • If another special recording mode is enabled while Interval Rec is in use, Interval Rec is automatically released.
  • Interval Rec mode is automatically released after changing system settings, such as the video format.
  • Interval Rec settings cannot be changed during recording or playback, or when the thumbnail screen is displayed.

Limitations during recording

  • Audio is not recorded.
  • Reviewing the recording (Rec Review) is not possible.

If the unit is turned off during recording

  • When the power supply to the unit is set to the standby state, the media is accessed for several seconds to record the images stored in memory up till that moment, and then the unit switches to standby state automatically.
  • If the DC power cord is disconnected, the power is turned off from the AC adaptor, or the PoE++ power delivery is disconnected, then the shots taken up to that point may be lost (maximum 10 seconds). Care should be exercised.

Setting the number of frames and the interval between shooting

Set [Project] > [Interval Rec] > [Setting] to [On] in the web menu, and set [Number of Frames] and [Interval Time].

The unit exits Interval Rec mode when it is powered off, but the [Number of Frames] and [Interval Time] settings are retained. You do not need to set them again the next time you shoot in Interval Rec mode.

Hint

  • Can also be set using [Project] > [Interval Rec] in the camera menu.

Starting shooting

Press the record START/STOP button to start recording. “Int●Rec” and “Int●Stby” appear alternately.

Stopping shooting

Stop the recording.

When shooting ends, the video data stored in memory up to that point is written to the media.

To exit Interval Rec mode, do one of the following.

  • Switch the power supply of the unit to standby.
  • In recording standby mode, set [Project] > [Interval Rec] > [Setting] to [Off].

Also, Interval Rec mode is automatically released when the unit is rebooted.
