If TIME LAPSE is selected, recording during Parking Mode is triggered
by the motion detection sensor. In this mode, the camera will take
static photos at the set time interval – either every second or every
5 seconds – to create a video montage. For example, if you set
Time Lapse 1sec, the camera will take one photo every second,
and then stitch the photos together into a 1 fps video. With a
maximum recording frame rate of 30fps, recording 8 hours of video
with Time Lapse 1Sec will generate a time lapsevideo lasting just
16 minutes (=8 x 60 x 60/30/60). This Eco Mode is recommended
for storage cards with smaller capacities.
