Chris, when I get to the interval time screen, it says 2f to the right, should I be able to go into that and change that 2f to something else? It’s no allowing me to do that. Have any ideas?

Thomas Mazzarella

[Chris Tompkins]

Well the 2f is the default, if you cannot change that then you need to make sure you are set up correctly to interval record.

Did you select interval record?
Are you in 720 record mode?

I am in 720p, and do I go under recording set up first? then listed is interval time. is this correct?

Thomas Mazzarella

[Chris Tompkins]

I believe so yes, I don’t have the cam in front of me.
Choose interval recording.

I still cannot get to that setting. Is there a step by step process somewhere, the manual is no real help.

Do the following:

1. Scene File – Set Operation Type to Video Camera

5. Recording Setup – Set Recording Format to 720P/60P

5. Recording Setup – Set Rec Function to Interval

5. Recording Setup – Set Interval Time

You need to do the math to figure out the best interval time. It depends on how fast you want it to play back.

Interval is set at 2f in blue color and cannot change it. where do I go from there?

Thomas Mazzarella

[Dave Neyman]

You got me. I’m not sure why yours is not working. Mine works fine. My menus is as follows:

Rec Format
480i Record Mode
Rec Function
One Shot Time
Interval Time
Etc.

The menu selection you want is INTERVAL TIME. Is it possible that you are looking at ONE SHOT TIME?

The above information was very helpful. Would you set your camera to auto iris and shutter?
