Take Test Shots
Take a test shot and view the results before recording a time-lapse movie.
Time-Lapse Movies
Depending on the make of memory card used, recording may end before the memory
card is full.
During Recording
To save power, the monitor turns off between frames; the green (AF) lamp blinks to
show that recording is in progress. The monitor turns on automatically immediately
before the camera takes the next shot.
Time-Lapse Movie Files
Time-lapse movies are recorded as QuickTime movie fi les with the extension “.MOV”
and names consisting of “INTN” plus a four-digit fi le number assigned by adding one to
the highest fi le number in the current folder (e.g., “INTN0015.MOV”).
Use a Reliable Power Source
We recommend using the optional EH-62A AC adapter when recording time-lapse
photos at intervals of ten minutes or more.
AE Lock
When On is selected for AE lock, a yellow AE-L icon will be
displayed in the monitor, indicating that exposure and white
balance will be locked with the fi rst shot. Once the fi rst shot
is taken, the icon will turn white.
