During Shooting
During interval timer photography, the Q icon will ash in the control
panel. Immediately before the next interval begins, the shutter speed dis-
play will show the number of intervals remaining, and the aperture display
will show the number of shots remaining in the current interval. At other
times, the number of intervals remaining and the number of shots in each
interval can be viewed by pressing the shutter-release button halfway.
Settings can be adjusted, the menus used, and pictures played back while interval timer photography
is in progress. The monitor will turn o automatically about four seconds before each shot. Note that
changing camera settings while the interval timer is active may cause shooting to end.
Release Mode
Regardless of the release mode selected, the camera will take the specied number of shots at each
interval.
Interval Timer Photography
If the interval is too short, the number of photos taken may be less than the total listed in Step 2 (the
number of intervals multiplied by the number of shots per interval) or the ash may re at less than the
power needed for full exposure. Interval timer photography cannot be combined with some camera
features, including live view, movie recording, time-lapse movies, long-time exposures (bulb or time
photography), and focus shift. In addition, interval timer photography is not available when Record
movies is selected for Custom Setting g1 (Custom control assignment)> Shutter-release button
(
0
35). Note that because the shutter speed, frame rate, and time needed to record images may vary
from one interval to the next, the time between the end of one interval and the beginning of the next
may vary. If shooting cannot proceed at current settings (for example, if a shutter speed of A or % is
currently selected in manual exposure mode, the interval is zero, or the start time is in less than a minute),
a warning will be displayed in the monitor.
The camera focuses before each shot. If AF‑S is selected and the camera is unable to focus, the camera
will either end interval timer photography (On selected Interval priority) or skip to the next interval (O
selected Interval priority) if no photograph is taken after eight seconds.
Interval timer shooting will pause when E (self-timer) is selected or if the camera is turned o and then
on again (when the camera is o, batteries and memory cards can be replaced without ending interval
timer photography). Pausing shooting does not aect interval timer settings.
Bracketing
Adjust bracketing settings before starting interval timer photography. If exposure, ash, or ADL bracket-
ing is active while interval timer photography is in eect, the camera will take the number of shots in
the bracketing program at each interval, regardless of the number of shots specied in the interval timer
menu. If white balance bracketing is active while interval timer photography is in eect, the camera will
take one shot at each interval and process it to create the number of copies specied in the bracketing
program. Note that bracketing cannot be used during interval timer photography when On is selected
for Interval priority.
