D Cautions: Time-Lapse Videos
Sound is not recorded with time-lapse videos.
The shutt
er speed and the time needed to record the picture to the memory card may vary from
shot to shot. As a result, camera may be unable to take shots at the selected interval.
Shooting will not begin if a time-lapse video cannot be recorded at current settings, for example if:
the value selected for [Interval] is longer than that selected for [Shooting time],
[00:00'00"] is selected for [Interval] or [Shooting time], or
the memory card is full.
Time-lapse photography will not start if the recording time is shown in red in the [Time-lapse
video] display. Adjust the [Interval] or [Shooting time].
If [ON] is selected for [Electronic shutter options] > [Electronic shutter], the shutter will sound
with every shot unless [Volume] is set to [0] (note that this applies even when [ON] is selected for
[Silent mode] in the setup menu).
Selecting [HLG] for [Tone mode] in the photo shooting menu fixes [Video file type] at [H.265
10-bit (MOV)].
The K button cannot be used to view pictures while time-lapse recording is in progress.
For consistent coloration, choose a white balance setting other than 4[Auto] or D[Natural
light auto] when recording time-lapse videos.
Regardless of the option selected for Custom Setting c3 [Power off delay]> [Standby timer], the
standby timer will not expire while recording is in progress.
Shooting may end if camera controls are used, settings are changed, or an HDMI cable is
connected. A video will be created from the frames shot to the point where shooting ended.
The following end shooting without a beep sounding or a video being recorded:
