Tim e-lap se
Time-lapse effects are perfect for shooting at much lower frame rates over long periods of time. The X3 Camera can capture images between 0.5 to 60 second intervals. The recording starts and stops by pressing the Shutter button in Video Recording mode. The time-lapse is saved as a video. Time-lapse intervals can be set inside Settings > Video Recording > Time-lapse.

With Sound Recording enabled the device will record audio for the current video clip via the integrated microphone. Features enabled/disabled inside Settings > Video Recording > Sound Recording.
Loo p Recor ding
With Loop Recording enabled video clips are recorded and saved to the memory card in set durations. Once the memory card is full, the Loop Recording feature automatically overwrites the earliest unprotected video clip. This prevents long
8
duration video clips from being lost in a single overwrite. Set video clip durations between 2,3 or 5 minutes. Video clip duration set inside Settings > Video Recording > Loop Recording.
Car Mode
The X3 Camera can operate like a car dash camera in Driving Mode. The camera will automatically power on and begin video recording when connected to power. Once disconnected from power it will stop recording and automatically shut down after a period of time. If operating as a car dash camera, Driving Mode is best used alongside Loop Recording for the most efficient storage of video clips. Feature enabled/disabled inside Settings > General Settings >Car Mode.
