Use a Reliable Power Source
If possible, use the optional EH-53 AC adapter when recording time-lapse movies.
During Recording
To save power, the monitor, viewfi nder, and control panel turn off between frames. The
displays turn on automatically immediately before the camera takes the next shot.
Image Quality
The fi le size of time lapse movies varies greatly depending on the option selected for
image quality. If HI or RAW is selected, image quality will automatically be set to FINE.
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.
