Recording • The Setup and PICTURE PROFILE menus cannot be operated during Rec Review. Assignable Buttons The camcorder has assignable buttons (five for PMW-200, four for PMW-100) (page 16) to which you can assign various functions for convenience. To change functions Use "Assign Button" (page 97) in the OTHERS menu. The assigned functions can be viewed on the Button/Remote status screen (page 77). Interval Recording The Interval Recording (time-lapse recording) function is especially effective for shooting objects that move very slowly. The specified number of frames are automatically recorded at the specified intervals. Recording interval (Interval Time) Number of frames for one recording session (Number of Frames) It is recommended to fix the camcorder to a tripod or equivalent and use the IR Remote Commander to start/stop recording rather than pressing the REC START/STOP button of the camcorder.

Performing Interval Recording When the preparatory settings are completed, you can start recording. Press the REC START/STOP button.
