URGENT!! Need info, heading into rainforest RIGHT NOW

[jonnygrunge]

Hi all
I am on my way to Guyana's rainforest posting here from my blackberry. I will lose signal in about 3 hours when I get on the trail to the jungle.

I am doing a nature documentary shootand want to explore doing timelapse on my HvX 200... I know I should have read up on it but too late 2cry over spilt milk.
I need a brief, simple explanation how to do the timelapse. I want to catch sunises in the forest, kinda like showin how the rainforest wakes.
PLEASE HELP!!

You need to go into the menu and SCENE FILE setting and select OPERATION TYPE> VIDEO CAM, then go to RECORDING SETUP and choose a non-native FORMAT (720/25p) not 25pN. Then under REC FUNCTION choose INTERVAL and set an interval of 1 sec.

That will record a frame every second and should work fine for what you need.

Apologies if I have made a mistake in this explanation. Thought I'd chime in as you said it was urgent. Someone else may be able to add more.

To stop - press the square stop button or power the camera off.

Good Luck!
