can the HV40 be used for a form of timelapse with an external trigger device.

It might be useful if one can record to the standard tape a photo every 5./10/or 20 seconds as with timelapse.

Not much in the specs or features about it. But I did find this forum post which suggests the HV line can record time lapse.

I am aware of that. Unfortunately, the HV40 is way too new to know much in the way of detail. Patience will probably provide a later opportunity to give you a more precise answer.

ps - I'm not sure if you're aware, but TYPING IN UPPER CASE LIKE THIS is considered yelling in netspeak. I'm sure you didn't mean to do that, but you may want to lay off the caps lock.
