Recording Video Intermittently
(Interval Rec)
The unit's Interval Rec function allows you to
capture time-lapse video 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 at a specified interval time.
Shooting interval (Interval Time)
Number of frames in one take
(Number of Frames)
When Interval Rec is enabled, the HVL-LBPC
(option) video light automatically turns on
before recording starts, which allows you to
record pictures under stable light and color
temperature conditions (pre-lighting function).
[Notes]
• 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 clips screen is
displayed.
To set Interval Rec
Select Rec Function >Interval Rec on the
Project status screen, and configure the
Number of Frames and Interval Time settings.
If using the HVL-LBPC video light (option),
set the time interval for turning on the video
light before recording starts using Interval Rec
>Pre-Lighting in the Project menu, as required.
[Tip]
You can also set the mode using Interval Rec
(page 44) in the Project menu of the full menu.
[Notes]
• A handle (option) equipped with an MI shoe is
required to use an HVL-LBPC light.
• If you want to turn the video light on before the start
of recording, set the video light switch to AUTO. The
video light turns on and off automatically according
to the setting of Video Light Set (page 59) in the
Technical menu.
• If you turn the video light switch on, the video
light is always lit (video light does not turn on/off
automatically).
• If the video light is configured so that it will turn off
for a duration of 5 seconds or less, the video light
does not turn off.
The unit exits Interval Rec mode when it is
powered off, but the Number of Frames,
Interval Time, and Pre-Lighting settings are
maintained. You do not need to set them
again the next time you shoot in Interval Rec
mode.
