D Cautions: Focus Shift Photography
The shutter speed and the time needed to record the picture may vary from shot to shot. As a
result, the camera may be unable to take shots at the selected interval.
Shooting ends when focus reaches infinity, and consequently depending on the focus position at
the start of shooting, shooting may end before the selected number of shots has been taken.
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).
Regardless of the option selected for Custom Setting c3 [Power off delay]> [Standby timer], the
standby timer will not expire while shooting is in progress.
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 because shutter speed is set to “Bulb”
or “Time”, a warning will be displayed.
Changing camera settings while focus shift photography is in progress may cause shooting to end.
