Interval-Timer Photography
•
Choose an interval longer than the time needed to take the selected
number of shots at the predicted shutter speed. Note that during actual
interval-timer photography, the camera must not only take shots at the
selected interval but must also have sufficient time to complete the
exposures and perform such tasks as processing the photographs. If the
interval is too short to take the selected number of photos, the camera
may skip to the next interval without shooting.
•
If the interval is too short, the total number of shots taken may be less
than that selected for [Intervals×shots/interval].
•
If you are using a flash, choose an interval longer than the time needed
for the flash to charge. If the interval is too short, the flash may fire at
less than the power needed for full exposure.
•
If shooting cannot proceed at current settings—for example, if shutter
speed is set to “Bulb” or “Time”, the [Interval] is [00:00'00"], or the start
time is in less than a minute—a warning will be displayed in the
monitor.
•
Interval-timer photography will not start if [On] is selected for both
[Silent photography] and [Interval priority] and [00:00'0.5"] is
selected for [Interval].
•
In the case of the Z 7II, interval-timer photography will not start if all
options are set as described below. To record a time-lapse movie under
these conditions, use [Time-lapse movie] in the photo shooting menu.
Note that in this case, the individual frames will not be recorded
separately.
-[Interval priority]: [On]
-[Interval]: [00:00'0.5"]
-[Options]: [Time-lapse movie]
