Minolta Dimage A1 - Manual (Page 67)

The camera will stop recording images and reset to the first frame when the number of frames set
has been taken, or when the memory card is full. The use of an AC adapter is recommended when
recording with long intervals or a large number of frames. To cancel the interval series, press the
main switch or press the shutter-release button partway down.
After mounting the camera on a tripod, compose the image so that the subject area falls within the
focus frames; the camera sets the focus, exposure, and white balance, and charges the flash just
before each exposure. Continuous AF can be used. Settings locked with the AE lock button are can-
celed after the first frame. To override the automatic systems, use manual focus (p. 46), manual expo-
sure (p. 56), and preset or custom white balance (p. 70).
Confirm the memory card has enough storage capacity for the series by comparing the number of
frames in the interval series with the number of recordable images displayed on the frame counter.
Image size and quality settings can be changed to increase the number of pictures that can be saved
on the memory card.
Press the shutter-release button to begin the series. During the interval series, the monitors will be
turned off to conserve power. “Int” will be displayed on the data panel and the data-panel frame
counter will countdown the remaining frames in the interval series. The access lamp will glow when
an image is being recorded.
