a Shooting Time-lapse Movies
Using a tripod is recommended.
Taking test shots for still photos as in step 14 and shooting test movies
for time-lapse movies beforehand is recommended.
Regardless of the [z1: Movie rec. size] setting, 4K time-lapse movies
are recorded in H6J(NTSC)/H5J(PAL), while Full HD
time-lapse movies are recorded in L 6 W(NTSC)/L 5
W(PAL).
The movie’s field of view coverage for shooting 4K and Full HD movies is
approx. 100%.
To cancel the time-lapse movie shooting in progress, either press the
shutter button completely or press the <0> button ([Disable] will be
set). The time-lapse movie shot so far will be recorded on the card.
If the time required for shooting is more than 24 hours but not more than
48 hours, “2 days” will be indicated. If three or more days are required,
the number of days will be indicated in 24-hour increments.
Even if the time-lapse movie’s playback time is less than 1 sec., a movie
file will still be created. For [Playback time], “00:00:00” will be displayed.
If the shooting time is long, using the household power outlet
accessories (sold separately, p.520) is recommended.
In the <A> and <C> modes, the scene icon for the scene detected by
the camera is displayed on the upper left of the screen (p.329).
The color sampling recorded will be YCbCr 4:2:2 (8-bit) for 4K time-lapse
movies, and YCbCr 4:2:0 (8-bit) for Full HD time-lapse movies. The color
matrix recorded will be Rec. ITU-R BT.601 for 4K time-lapse movies, and
Rec. ITU-R BT.709 for Full HD time-lapse movies.
If the card does not have enough free space to record the set number of
shots, [Playback time] (p.353) will be displayed in red. Although the
camera can continue shooting, the shooting will stop when the card
becomes full.
If the card has no available capacity, “Number of shots” (p.355) will be
displayed in red as “z0000”, and you will not be able to shoot.
If the movie file size exceeds 4 GB with the [No. of shots] settings and
the card is not formatted in eXFAT (p.71), [Play time] will be displayed in
red (p.353). If you keep shooting in this condition and the movie file size
reaches 4 GB, the time-lapse movie shooting will stop.
