Before Shooting
Before beginning time-lapse photography, take a test shot at current
settings (framing the photo in the viewfinder for an accurate exposure
preview) and view the results in the monitor. For consistent coloration,
choose a white balance setting other than auto (
0 111). Once settings
have been adjusted to your satisfaction, remove the rubber eyecup
and cover the viewfinder with the supplied eyepiece cap to prevent
light entering via the viewfinder interfering with photographs and
exposure (
0 70).
Use of a tripod is recommended. Mount the camera on a tripod before
shooting begins. To ensure that shooting is not interrupted, use an
optional AC adapter and power connector or a fully-charged battery.
