Images are recorded over several times and only the parts that change to become brighter form part of the composition.

The images composed by recording at a set exposure time (shutter speed) are displayed, allowing the images to be confirmed as recording proceeds.

This allows you to reduce the overall brightness for recording, so it is convenient for recording the light trails of stars or fireworks against a bright nightscape.
