D Interval-timer photography
･ Choose an in
terval 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 sucient 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 ash, choose an interval longer than the time needed for
the ash to charge. If the interval is too short, the ash may re 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].
･ If [On] is selected for [Silent photography] or [Time-lapse video] is
selected for [Options], the standby timer will not expire during interval-
timer photography, regardless of the option selected for Custom Setting

timer photography)
