Hint
Images shot using Time-lapse Capture are saved on the camcorder as photos. You can
create a movie from these photos by importing them to a computer, etc., and using
applications such as PlayMemories Home (Windows OS: ver. 5.1 or later, Mac OS: ver.
3.1 or later).
Note
To prevent running short of battery power, it is recommended to power the camcorder
using the USB cable or AC adaptor during time-lapse capture.
The shooting time calculated based on settings is displayed on the settings screen for
Time-lapse Capture. Note that the displayed shooting time is a rough indication and the
actual shooting time may vary depending on the shooting conditions.
There may be a case where the shooting of 1 frame takes a longer time than [Shooting
Interval]. In that case, the next shooting starts right after the end of the shooting of that
frame.
The menu screen cannot be displayed during Time-lapse Capture. When you start Time-
lapse Capture while the menu screen is displayed, the screen switches to the Time-lapse
Capture screen.
