During Recording
To save power, the monitor turns off between shots; the green (AF) lamp blinks to show
that recording is in progress. The monitor turns on automatically about ten seconds
before the camera takes the next picture.
Use a Reliable Power Source
To prevent shooting from ending unexpectedly, we recommend using the optional EH-
62A AC adapter for interval timer photography.
Playback
Pictures taken at a setting of Intvl timer shooting can not be displayed until interval
timer shooting is complete.
File Names
Each sequence of pictures is stored in a folder with a name consisting of a three-digit
folder number followed by “INTVL” (e.g., “101INTVL”). File names consist of “DSCN”
followed by a four-digit fi le number assigned in ascending order starting from 0001
(e.g., “DSCN0001”).
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.
