Taking Photographs—Interval Timer Photography
During Shooting
During interval timer photography, the
icon in the top control panel will blink. Imme-
diately before the next shooting interval begins,
the shutter speed display will show the number of
intervals remaining, and the aperture display will
show the number of shots remaining in the current interval. At other times,
the number of intervals remaining and the number of shots in each interval
can be viewed by pressing the shutter-release button halfway (once the but-
ton is released, the shutter speed and aperture will be displayed until the
exposure meters turn off).
To view current interval timer settings, select Intvl
timer shooting between shots. While interval
timer photography is in progress, the interval tim-
er menu will show the starting time, the current
time, the shooting interval, the selected number
of intervals and number of shots, and the number
of intervals and shots remaining. None of these items can be changed while
interval timer photography is in progress.
During Shooting
Shooting and menu settings can be adjusted freely while interval timer photography is
in progress. Note the following:
• Performing a two-button reset (
126) or changing bracketing settings ( 96) will
cancel interval timer photography.
• If shutter speed is set to (manual exposure mode) after the timer has started,
subsequent photographs will be taken at a shutter speed of 1 /
3
s.
• The monitor will turn off about four seconds before each interval.
• If voice memos are recorded automatically after shooting, voice memos will end two
seconds before the next photograph is taken.
C-Mode Max. Shots
If the number of shots per interval is greater than the limit specifi ed in Custom Setting
d2 (Maximum shots), only the number of shots specifi ed in Custom Setting d2 will
be taken at each interval.
