Recording Video Intermittently (Interval Rec)
The Interval Rec function allows you to capture video at regular intervals to internal memory of the unit. 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 recorded per 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.
To set Interval Rec
Set [Project] – [Interval Rec] – [Setting] to [On] and set [Interval Time] and [Number of Frames] in the web menu or camera menu.
Hint
- [Number of Frames] and [Interval Time] can also be configured using [Project] – [Interval Rec] in the camera menu.
When the unit is turned off, Interval Rec mode is cancelled, 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.
To shoot using Interval Rec
Press the record START/STOP button to start recording. “Int 
Rec” and “Int Stby” appear alternately in the viewfinder.
To stop shooting
Stop the recording.
When shooting ends, the video data stored in memory up to that point is written to the media.
Limitations during recording
- Audio is not recorded.
- Reviewing the recording (Rec Review) is not possible.
If the unit is turned off
- If power is disconnected during recording, the data shot up to that point may be lost (maximum 10 seconds). Care should be exercised.
