The camera will stop recording images and reset to the first frame when the number of
frames set has been taken, or when the memory card is full. The use of an AC adapter
is recommended when recording with long intervals or a large number of frames. To
cancel the interval series, press the main switch or press the shutter-release button
partway down.
After mounting the camera on a tripod, compose the image so that the subject area falls
within the focus frames; the camera sets the focus, exposure, and white balance, and
charges the flash just before each exposure. Continuous AF can be used. Settings
locked with the AE lock button are canceled after the first frame. To override the
automatic systems, use manual focus (p. 46), manual exposure (p. 56), and preset or
custom white balance (p. 70).
Confirm the memory card has enough storage capacity for the series by comparing the
number of frames in the interval series with the number of recordable images displayed
on the frame counter. Image size and quality settings can be changed to increase the
number of pictures that can be saved on the memory card.
Press the shutter-release button to begin the series. During the interval series, the
monitors will be turned off to conserve power. “Int” will be displayed on the data panel
and the data-panel frame counter will countdown the remaining frames in the interval
series. The access lamp will glow when an image is being recorded.
