❚❚ Ending Shooting
To end shooting before all the photos are taken, highlight Off in
the time-lapse movie menu and press J (note that this may not
end shooting if the value selected for Interval is very short, in
which case shooting can be ended by turning the camera off). A
movie will be created from the frames shot to that point. Note
that if the power source is removed or disconnected or the
memory card is ejected, shooting end (but no beep will sound)
and no movie will be recorded.
❚❚ No Photograph
The camera focuses before each shot. If the currently-selected
focus mode is AF-S and Off is selected for Interval priority, the
camera will skip to the next interval when unable to focus.
D Calculating the Length of the Final Movie
The total number of frames in the final movie can be calculated by
dividing the shooting time by the interval, rounding up, and adding 1.
The length of the final movie can then be calculated by dividing the
number of shots by the frame rate selected for Frame size/frame rate.
A 48-frame movie recorded at 1920× 1080; 24p, for example, will be
about two seconds long. The maximum length for time-lapse movies
is 20 minutes.
