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; 24
fps, for example, will be about two seconds long.
The maximum length for movies recorded using
time-lapse photography is 20 minutes.

To prevent light entering via the viewfinder
interfering with exposure, close the viewfinder eyepiece shutter
(

During time-lapse photography, a Q icon will
blink and the time-lapse recording indicator will
be displayed in the 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 (Auto meter-off delay,
exposure meters will not turn off during shooting.
To view current time-lapse photography
settings, press the
G button between shots.
While time-lapse photography is in progress, the
time-lapse photography menu will show 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.
