4 Highlight Start at the bottom of the interval timer menu and press the
multi selector up or down to select On, then press the button. The fi rst
series of shots will be taken at the specifi ed starting time. Shooting will
continue at the selected interval until all shots have been taken. If shoot-
ing can not proceed at current settings (for example, if a shutter speed of
is currently selected in manual exposure mode, or the starting time
is less than one minute from the current time), a warning will appear and
the interval timer menu will be displayed again.
Use of a tripod is recommended.
Take a Test Shot
Before beginning interval timer photography, take a test shot at current settings and view
the results in the monitor. Remember that the camera will focus before each shot—no
shots will be taken if the camera is unable to focus in single-servo AF.
Use a Reliable Power Source
To ensure that shooting is not interrupted, be sure the battery is fully charged. If in doubt,
charge the battery before shooting or use an optional EH-6 AC adapter.
Check the Time
Before choosing a starting time, select World Time in the setup menu and make sure that
the camera clock is set to the correct time and date (
12).
Out of Memory
If the memory card is full, the interval timer will remain active but no pictures will be tak-
en. Delete some pictures or turn the camera off and insert another memory card. When
the camera is turned on, interval timer photography will be paused. See “Pausing Interval
Timer Photography” on the following page for information on resuming interval timer pho-
tography.
Bracketing
Adjust bracketing settings before starting interval timer photography. If exposure and / or
fl ash bracketing is active while interval timer photography is in eff ect, the camera will take
the number of shots in the bracketing program at each interval, regardless of the number
of shots specifi ed in the interval timer menu. If white balance bracketing is active while
interval timer photography is in eff ect, the camera will take only one shot at each interval
and process it to create the number of copies specifi ed in the bracketing program.
The Eyepiece Cap
In exposure modes other than manual, remove the view-
fi nder eyepiece cup and insert the supplied DK-5 eyepiece
cap to pre vent light entering via the viewfi nder from in ter -
fer ing with exposure.
