denition, w

D Focus shift photography
･ T
he shutter speed and the time needed to record the image may vary
from shot to shot. As a result, the interval between a shot being recorded
and the start of the next shot may vary.
･ Shooting ends when focus reaches innity, and consequently depending
on the focus position at the start of shooting, shooting may end before
the selected number of shots has been taken.
･ Regardless of the option selected for Custom Setting c3 [Power o delay]
> [Standby timer], the standby timer will not expire while shooting is in
progress.
･ 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 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.

･ video recording,
