What is Time-Lapse Video?
A standard VCR records 50 images (fields) per second,
while this time lapse VCR can record at different rates.
This feature makes it possible to record up to 27 hours
on a single video tape. As a result, this unit is extremely
useful for long-term monitoring or recording changes
that take place slowly over an extended period of time
(such as the blooming of a flower).

2 Reset the memory. (Press the ALL RESET button.
Under normal conditions, do not touch the ALL
