Various Shooting Functions
6 Press the shutter release button fully.
The first image is taken, and additional images are taken continuously at the
set interval.
To check the images being merged, press the shutter release button halfway.
If the shutter release button is pressed fully, the images merged up to that
point are saved as they are, and the interval composite shooting starts with
a new image.
7 Press the MENU/OK button to end shooting.
The merged image is saved.
Caution -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The image at the time of pressing the MENU/OK button during shooting is not merged.
• The flash cannot be used with this function.
• The ISO sensitivity cannot be set to higher than ISO 1600.
• The shutter speed cannot be set to longer than 60 seconds.
• For the RAW images taken with Interval Composite when [Ambient Brightness] of the [Shooting]
menu is set to [Normal], [Original] cannot be selected for [Ambient Brightness] of [RAW Develop-
ment] of the [Playback] menu.
• [Vignetting] set in [Effect] or [Image Settings] of the [Shooting] menu is invalid.
Note -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• The values of the following settings are fixed when the first image is taken.
• ISO sensitivity when set to [Auto] or [Auto-Hi]
• White balance value when set to [Auto]
• AF operation is only performed for the first image.
• When [Focus] of the [Shooting] menu is set to [Subj. Tracking], it works as [Multi AF] during the
interval composite shooting.
• The self-timer can only be used for the first image. [Custom Self-Timer] cannot be used.
• If shooting the light trails of stars, setting the [Focus] of the [Shooting] menu to [∞] and the [In-
terval] to [Min.] will yield clear images. Also, when taking test shots, check that the stars appear as
points of light. Those points of light will be recorded as light trails when merged.
• During shooting in a dark location, using the optional external viewfinder (GV-1/GV-2) is convenient.
