This allows you to record continuously using footage intervals of 1/2/3/5/10 minutes. When the loop recording is ON, the camera will delete the oldest loop recording file and replace with the latest recording when the MicroSD is full.
Time lapse
- Time-lapse is a creative technique that records footage at a very low frame rate.
- Playing it back at a higher frame rate shows a rapid change over time. This technique is most effective when recording scenes or objects which have a slow state of change, e.g. a sunset or a flower blossoming.
- This option captures video at specified intervals without audio ready for playback and sharing.
- Time lapse can be set to the following intervals 1/5/10/30/60 seconds.
- The following chart is useful for determining the amount of time required for 1min of footage at 30FPS:
