This comes down to a couple basic things: careful planned and execution of your plan.

  1. Figure out what you what you photo and what the best way to capture the event will be. You're going to want to use a tripod to keep the camera in the same position for the duration of the event.
  2. Figure out how often you need the camera to take a photo. If the event is short like 1 minute, you're going to want to take more photos more frequently than if the event is one hour long.
  3. Position the camera and start taking photos. There is no magic "time lapse" setting on cameras so you're going to have to stick around and press the shutter based on the schedule you worked out.
  4. Grab your favorite movie editing program and edit them all together. Play around with how long you show each photo to control the speed of the time lapse effect.
  5. Export and enjoy!

The first lap time and lap number are displayed,

the end of the second lap. The first lap time and
lap number disappear, and the measurement in

The second lap time and lap number are displayed,
though the third lap time is being measured

5. Measurement and release of the lap time can be
repeated by depressing button “A”.
6. At the end of the activity, follow either of the two
methods below.
a. To display the final lap time, depress button
“A”. Then, depress button “A” to release the
lap time, and depress button “D” to stop the
measurement.
* The time displayed when button “D” is depressed

- HOW TO USE THE STOPWATCH
• The stopwatch can measure up to 9 hours, 59
minutes, 59 seconds and 99 in 1¤ 100 seconds.
* Even if the stopwatch display is changed to another
while the measurement is in progress, it continues
counting properly. After the stopwatch is used,
however, be sure to reset it as the battery energy
is consumed enormously to shorten the battery
life.
