Using the Camera – Video Recording

2.0 Video Recording

The MN50WP features 4 separate Video Recording / Capture modes as explained below.

Video Mode:

This is a video recording mode. Only video file can be recording per shutter press. Press the shutter button to begin recording, and press the shutter button to stop recording.

Slow-Motion:

This mode will allow you to record a slow-motion video. The camera will record a video at a higher frame rate resulting in a slower motion. The file will also play back in slower motion. The Resolution setting will determine the capture quality and play back duration. For example, a "720 8X" slow-motion setting will record a video in 720P resolution and will play back the file 8 times slower than the recorded duration. If the recorded duration of the original recording was 5 seconds, the play back duration will be 40 seconds.

Loop Recording:

This mode will allow you to enable an automatic capture of multiple Video recordings in a loop determined by the duration setting. For example, a “1 minute” setting will automatically capture 1-minute long recordings until the memory card storage depletes or until you stop the recording. To start or stop recording, simply press the Shutter button.

Time-Lapse (Video):

Time-lapse photography is a photographic technique in which the frequency at which photo frames are captured (the frame rate) is much lower than the frequency used to view the sequence. When played at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing. For example, an image of a scene may be captured at 1 frame per second but then played back at 30 frames per second; the result is an apparent 30 times speed increase. This mode will capture a sequence of frames at set intervals to record changes that take place slowly over time. When the frames are shown at normal speed, or in quick succession, the action seems much faster.

When entering this shooting mode, it will allow you to enable an

automatic recording of video set by a time interval and a duration. There are 2 settings that will determine the "Interval" and "Duration".

The Interval setting is the interval in which the camera will capture photos for the time-lapse based on a default 30 frames per second. For example, an Interval setting of “5 seconds” will capture 150 images (5 seconds multiplied by 30 frames per second).

The Duration setting is the amount of time the camera will run the "Time-Lapse (Video)" program and record the scene. For example, a Duration setting of "10 Minutes" will capture video for 10 minutes and then stop. With an Interval setting of "5 seconds" and a Duration setting of "10 Minutes", the camera will record video for 10 minutes and then play it back in a compressed time of 4 seconds long.

The calculation to determine the playback length is: Duration (in seconds) / (Interval * 30 frames per second)

Using an Interval setting of "5 seconds" and a Duration setting of "10 Minutes", the calculation to determine the playback length is: 10 minutes / (5 seconds * 30 frames per second) = 600 seconds / 150 = 4

The highlighted mode is Time Lapse (Video) mode.

Time-lapse photography is a photographic technique in which the frequency at which photo frames are captured (the frame rate) is much lower than the frequency used to view the sequence. When played at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing. For example, an image of a scene may be captured at 1 frame per second but then played back at 30 frames per second; the result is an apparent 30 times speed increase. This mode will capture a sequence of frames at set intervals to record changes that take place slowly over time. When the frames are shown at normal speed, or in quick succession, the action seems much faster.

When entering this shooting mode, it will allow you to enable an automatic recording of video set by a time interval and a duration. There are 2 settings that will determine the “Interval” and “Duration”. To begin recording a video file, follow these steps:

1. Line up your shot by looking at the LCD monitor to see what is in the shot.

Using the Camera – Photo Capture

3.0 Photo Capturing

The MN50WP features 4 separate Photo Capture modes as explained below.

Photo Mode:

This is a standard photo capturing mode. Only one photo can be captured per shutter press.

Self-Timer:

This mode will allow you enable a countdown timer to automatically capture a photo after a set elapsed duration. For example, a “2-second” self-timer setting will automatically capture a photo 2 seconds after pressing the shutter button in this mode.

Photo Burst:

This mode will allow you to enable an automatic capture of multiple photos in sequence determined by the setting. For example, a “5 shots” setting will automatically capture 5 photos in quick sequence or “burst”, after pressing the shutter button in this mode.

Time-Lapse (Photo):

This mode will allow you to enable an automatic capture of photos set by a time interval and duration. There are 2 settings that will determine the “Interval” and “Duration”.

The Interval setting is the amount of time the camera will wait in between each auto capture. For example, an Interval setting of “10 seconds” will set the camera to automatically capture a photo every 10 seconds.

The Duration setting is the amount of time the camera will run the "Time-Lapse (Photo)" program. For example, a Duration setting of "5 Minutes" will run the Time-Lapse (Photo) capture program for 5 minutes and then stop. With an Interval setting of "10 seconds" and a Duration setting of "5 Minutes", the camera will automatically capture a photo every 10 seconds for 5 minutes and then stop automatically. So, with these settings, the camera will capture 30 photos (1 photo every 10 seconds for 5 minutes or 300 seconds total).
