●
This function is not intended for application-specific systems (monitoring cameras).
●
If you leave the camera unattended during [Time Lapse Shot] recording, make sure that the
camera is not stolen.
●
Exercise caution when you perform [Time Lapse Shot] recording for a long period of time
in cold regions or in a low-temperature or high-temperature/high-humidity environment,
since such use could cause malfunctions.
●
Use a sufficiently charged battery or an AC adaptor (optional) and DC coupler (optional).

When using zoom, the camera could tilt when the lens barrel extends. Make sure to secure the
camera in place with a tripod or by other means.

[Time Lapse Shot] is paused in the following cases:
• When the remaining battery power runs out
• Turning the camera off
If this occurs during [Time Lapse Shot] recording, you can restart the operation by replacing the
battery or card in the pause state and turning the camera on. (Note, however, that the pictures
recorded after restarting the operation are saved as a separate set of group pictures.) When you
replace the battery or card, turn the camera off.
●
Do not connect the HDMI micro cable or USB connection cable during [Time Lapse Shot]
recording.

When you select the picture quality for an aspect ratio that is different from the original picture, the
picture will be displayed with a black band on the upper/lower side or the left/right side of a stop

If the power supply is cut off due to a power outage or AC adaptor disconnection while a motion
picture is being recorded using the AC adaptor (optional), that motion picture will not be recorded.
