D Cautions: Interv
al-Timer Photography
Choose an interval longer than the time needed to take the selected number of shots at the
predicted shutter speed. Note that during actual interval-timer photography, the camera must not
only take shots at the selected interval but must also have sufficient time to complete the exposures
and perform such tasks as processing the photographs. If the interval is too short to take the
selected number of photos, the camera may skip to the next interval without shooting.
If the interval is too short, the total number of shots taken may be less than that selected for
[Intervals×shots/interval].
If you are using a flash, choose an interval longer than the time needed for the flash to charge. If the
interval is too short, the flash may fire at less than the power needed for full exposure.
If shooting cannot proceed at current settings—for example, if shutter speed is set to “Bulb” or
“Time”, the [Interval] is [00:00'00"], or the start time is in less than a minute—a warning will be
displayed.
If [Time-lapse video] is selected for [Options], the standby timer will not expire during interval-
timer photography, regardless of the option selected for Custom Setting c3 [Power off delay] >
[Standby timer].
If [Time-lapse video] is selected for [Options] at a frame size 7680 × 4320, interval-timer
photography will not start if:
[DX (24×16)] or [1:1 (24×24)] is selected for [Image area] > [Choose image area] in the photo
shooting menu, or
a DX lens is attached.
If the memory card is full, the interval timer will remain active but no pictures will be taken. Insert
another memory card and resume shooting (
0 498).
Depending on memory card per
formance and shooting conditions, shooting may end before the
selected number of shots have been taken or the selected number of intervals is complete.
Interval timer shooting will pause if:
the camera is turned off and then on again (when the camera is off, batteries and memory cards
can be replaced without ending interval-timer photography), or
self-timer or high-speed frame capture+ is selected for release mode.
Changing camera settings while the interval timer is active may cause shooting to end.
D Release Mode
Regardless of the release mode selected, the camera will take the specified number of shots at each
interval.
D Adjusting Settings Between Shots
Pictures can be viewed and shooting and menu settings adjusted between shots. Note, however, that
the display will turn off and shooting will resume a few seconds before the next shot is taken.
