That’s me, Joe! Thanks for remembering.

Great tip, Bruce! I had previously done something along the same lines. I filled the slot of the switch slider with white paint which made it easier to determine its position. You tip is an excellent addition.

Page 74 of the F350 describes the Picture Cache function.

>I haven’t been able to make that happen.< Do you have "i.Link MODE" (page O10 OUTPUT) set to "AV/C", Dave? Carroll Lam

>I’ll likely be able to force a stop frame animation sequence providing I collect enough frames to satisfy the gop thing. Blimey it gets complicated doesn’t it? Hmmm no powering down the unit in this process then.< Although it may be related to GOP functioning, the situation is really determined by collecting, for the frame rate mode in use, collecting enough frames before stopping the interval recording process to complete 2 seconds of realtime playback. >Also too I guess I must make sure that after the animation sequence I expose at least another 12 frames to ensure that the gop is complete.< No, that's not true. For example, if you're in the 24p mode you just need to capture 48 frames and that will fill up the 2-sec clip time precisely. If you're in the 60i mode you would need to collect a minimum of 60 frames. >Any answers to the question of whether the P350 will down convert and output to firewire?< The F330/F350 will output downconverted DV-format video via Firewire in both realtime and from disk playback.

As Nate pointed out, the minimum 2-sec clip is only created if you stop the interval recording process before enough frames to create a 2-sec runtime are collected.
For example, if you are operating in the 24p mode and start an interval recording process and collect only 24 frames and then stop the recording, a 2-second clip will be recorded that when played will display the 24 interval frames and then show 24 realtime frames.

>the manual states the shortest clip that can be written to disc is 2 seconds.< Well, of course you are correct, Nate. That minimum clip time is something that I had forgotten. So, I guess the options for stop frame animation would be to either set the interval time to a value large enough that allows one to change the animation setup between frame collections (and collect at least 2 seconds of runtime frames per record period, or run the camera's video output into a pc and use the pc to grab frames when desired.

>Obviously it would be better to do this via the remote control would this be possible? < Yep. The F330/F350 remote control can stop and start the recording process. Thanks for the nice words! Carroll Lam

Actually you can shoot one frame at a time on an abitrary schedule with the F330/F350.
Just set the interval recording time to something more than a second or so, start the recording process and after the frame is recorded stop the recording. Repeat this process whenever a new frame recording is desired.
