Recording Automatically by Sensing Movements (AUTO REC)

This function enables the unit to record automatically by sensing the changes in subject’s movement (brightness) within the red frame displayed on the LCD monitor.
It can be set for both video and still image modes.

Open the LCD monitor.

To switch the mode between video and still image, tap MOVIE or PHOTO on the recording screen to display the mode switching screen.
Tap MOVIE or PHOTO to switch the mode to video or still image respectively.

Compose the picture according to the subject.

Adjust the angle of view with the zoom, etc.

Recording starts automatically when the subject within the red frame moves.

AUTO REC2

A red frame appears 2 seconds after the menu display disappears.

For video recording, recording continues while there are still movements of the subject (changes in brightness) within the red frame. When there are no more movements of the subject (changes in brightness) within the red frame, recording will stop in 5 seconds.

To stop video recording manually, press the START/STOP button. However, as the “AUTO REC” setting remains at “ON” even after the video recording is stopped, recording starts again when movements of the subject (changes in brightness) are detected within the red frame. To cancel “AUTO REC”, set it to “OFF”.

Caution

Digital zoom, image stabilizer, self-timer, and continuous shooting are not available after “AUTO REC” is set.

“AUTO REC” cannot be used together with “TIME-LAPSE RECORDING”. When both are set, priority is given to “TIME-LAPSE RECORDING”.

“IMAGE SIZE” cannot be changed after “AUTO REC” is selected.
Set it before selecting “AUTO REC”.

The auto power off and power-saving modes are not available after “AUTO REC” is set.

Memo

Recording stops when there are no changes for 5 seconds during video recording.

Settings of “AUTO REC” are not saved when the power is turned off.

Recording may not start when the movements of the subject within the red frame are too fast or the changes in brightness are too small.

Recording may start due to changes in brightness even if there is no movement within the red frame.

While zooming, recording cannot be started.
