The recommended value varies by subject. See “Recom-“Recom-
mended Settings by Scene” (page mended Settings by Scene” (page 6666)) for more informa-
tion.
Interval Length
Some cameras from other manufacturers dene interval
length as the time between the end of one exposure and the
beginning of the next. The result is that the time between
one shot and the next varies according to exposure time.
Nikon cameras, in contrast, dene the interval length as the
time from the start of one shot to the beginning of the next,
ensuring that photos are taken at regular intervals.
