recording will stop and start at the correct times of day):
1. Move the main switch to SETUP, then press MENU.
2. Keep pressing the RIGHT key, stepping through the Setup Menu until
you reach Time Lapse.
3. With “On” selected (press UP/DOWN to toggle between On/Off),
press OK. This takes you to the screen to set Start and Stop time,
which determines the clock times when the Time Lapse recording will
begin and end for each day. You can set these times to the exact hour
and minute you want, for a recording “block” that lasts anywhere from
just a minute to a full 24 hours.
4. Set the [Start] and [Stop] times, beginning with the Start hour, using
the UP/DOWN keys to change the setting. The hour setting is based
on a 24-hour clock, with “00” hours = midnight, “12” hours = noon,
“23” hrs = 11PM, etc. To move to the next setting, press the RIGHT
key, change the minute for the Start time with UP/DOWN, then on to
the hour and minute settings for the Stop time.
5. After you finish setting the last time setting (Stop minutes), another
press of the RIGHT key will take you to the setting for Interval. This
lets you control how often a photo or video clip is recorded during the
block of time you defined with the Start and Stop settings. Note that
for videos, this is independent of the length of each video recording-
it’s how often videos are recorded, not how long each one lasts. Your
options are 60 minutes, 30 minutes, 15 minutes, 5 minutes (this is the
default) or 1 minute (for still photos only). Use the UP/DOWN keys to
select your preference, then press OK to save it.
6. Here’s an example of how the camera would operate, based on the
following Time Lapse settings:
Time Lapse: On
[Start]: 16:00
[Stop]: 18:30
Interval: 15M
These settings would cause the camera to take a photo (or video,
depending on which you have it set for) beginning at 4 PM, then
another one at 4:15, 4:30, etc.–one every 15 minutes, until the Time
Lapse recording stops at 6:30 PM. The next day, the camera would
