can this camera be set to take pictures at a set interval, thus play back as a slow motion video?

Yes and no. Will take up to ten pictures one after another. Movies can be replayed in slow motion. The slow motion is not in the manual.

Yes! While I have not used that feature, the package clearly says "New! Variable speed controls---speed up or slow down any part of your video."

No. This camera has a minimum 3 second delay from when it senses motion to when it takes a picture.

It is a very nice camera but it does not as far as I know have any slow motion capture capabilities. It may play back in slow motion. For example there is no time lapse capabilities. That being said you would pick the best high speed frame rate you could get and then play it back slower in your computer. Then you would have perfect slow motion.

i have not tried that setting-- but there is a delay in taking photos a single shot at a time....I bought rechargeable batteries 2800 something to get more power....still is a delay......pictures are good ......camera is slow,

Video you'll need IS to reduce handshake. This len is so slow, it not even good for taking pictures of moving objects.

Yes. The camera can be set to automatically record when motion is sensed by the camera.

Yes. There the camera can be set for continuous shooting. Go to Menu. Select the Camera Icon for Shooting Menu. Select Continuous. You will need to experiment with the selections there.

I don't believe so. You can set f stop and shutter speed manually for a still frame picture, but I believe once you put the camera on video, it is all automatic.

Haven't tried it that way, but there is a function to set a timer. Press the bottom of the 4 way button and it will give you options on the screen. Only 10 seconds max though. You can also set a time lapse, to take a pic every 30 sec, 1 min, 5 min, and 10 min. If you hit the menu button you'll get a list of options, and part way down is continuous shot. Select that and at the bottom of the next page you'll see time lapse.

I believe it has a built in protocol that takes images from the bottom camera and compares the most current image to the previous frame. This unfortunately causes some drift over time. Playing around some you should be able to have it use an initial image and use that one as a reference for all other frames taken and later time points.

What if you're trying to take pics of kids who never slow down long enough for the shutter lag to catch up...is this a good camera for it?

Yes with timer there is a option in the camera to take burst of images, but I am not sure How long it lasts.

why would you? you can use the camera's delayed shutter timer. besides you would have to be at the remote's cord distance.. it's not wireless.

Personally I would not recommend this camera for slow motion. Because it only records in 1080i (interlaced) it doesn't produce individual frames that are clear enough to show off a video in slow motion. You end up with vertical lines which make the video noisy. In fact, the true limitation of this camera, and any camera that shoots interlaced footage is that it suffers when there is lots of action going on in the scene. I would recommend a 720p camera over this or any other 1080i camera. Another issue is the frame rate. If you want to capture something in high enough quality to be played back in slow motion you're going to want something around 60fps.

Yes. Set camera to bulb mode in manual exposure. Then you can set shutter time with the remote.

You can use the remote to switch the camera on/off, take still pictures or start/stop video recording. There is no time delay picture function.
