Press the Home ( ) tab. Once time lapse recording finishes the camcorder switches to the standby mode. Press the Recording start/stop button if you want to stop time lapse recording. If a video recording fills up 1. 8GB of storage memory, a new recording file is automatically started at that point. If the battery charge is exhausted during the time lapse recording, the camcorder saves the recording up to that point and switches to standby mode. After some time, it displays a warning message, then turns off automatically. If memory runs out during a Time Lapse REC, the camcorder switches to standby mode after saving what was recorded so far. We recommend using the AC power adaptor for a time lapse recording.
