Time-lapse Settings
You can record movies by condensing changes over a period of time of up to several dozen minutes. Unlike quick-motion movie recording, you can set a shooting interval longer than 1 second. This enables you to record movies with a larger time compression ratio. When creating longer time-lapse movies, use the “ Interval Shoot Func. .”
Configure settings such as the recording frame rate and shooting interval in [
Time-lapse Settings].
When shooting a time-lapse movie, set the Still/Movie/S&Q switch to S&Q, and select the shooting mode for time-lapse shooting from MENU → 
(Shooting) → [Shooting Mode] → [
Shoot Mode].
-
MENU → (Shooting) → [Image Quality/Rec] → [Time-lapse Settings] → Select an item to set, and then select the desired setting.
