Recording at Intervals (TIME-LAPSE RECORDING)
Recording at Intervals (TIME-LAPSE RECORDING)
This function enables the changes of a scene that occur slowly over a long period to be shown within a short time by taking frames of it at a certain interval.
This is useful for making observations such as the opening of a flower bud.
