Note on Interval Timer Shooting
• To prevent the camera from turning off unexpectedly during recording, use a fully charged battery.
• To power the camera continuously for extended periods, use an AC Adapter EH-62A (available
separately from Nikon) ( A 136). Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model
of AC adapter. Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the
camera.
• Do not rotate the mode dial, while performing interval-timer shooting.
