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. Sound will not be recorded. 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 dial to S&Q, and set MENU →
(Shooting) → [Shooting
Mode] → [
Shoot Mode] to [ Time-lapse].
