Calculating the Length of the Final Movie
The total number of frames in the final movie
can be calculated by dividing the shooting time
by the interval and rounding up. The length of
the final movie can then be calculated by diving
the number of shots by the frame rate selected
for Movie settings > Frame size/frame rate. A
48 frame movie recorded at 1920 × 1080; 24p,
for example, will be about two seconds long.
The maximum length for movies recorded using
time-lapse photography is 20 minutes.

During Shooting
During time-lapse photography, Q will flash
and the time-lapse recording indicator will be
displayed in the top control panel. The time
remaining (in hours and minutes) appears in the
shutter-speed display immediately before each
frame is recorded. At other times, the time remaining can be viewed by
pressing the shutter-release button halfway. Regardless of the option
selected for Custom Setting c2 (Standby timer,
0 324), the standby
timer will not expire during shooting.
To view current time-lapse photography settings
or end time-lapse photography (
0 234), press
the
G button between shots. While time-
lapse photography is in progress, the time-lapse
photography menu will show exposure
smoothing, the interval, and the time remaining.
These settings can not be changed while time-
lapse photography is in progress, nor can pictures be played back or
other menu settings adjusted.
