Time Lapse Photography

Time-lapse photography is not available in live view, at a shutter speed of Aor when bracketing, High Dynamic Range (HDR), multiple exposure, or interval timer photog- raphy is active.

To record changes in brightness, use manual exposure; for consistent framing, colors and focus, turn vibration reduc- tion off, choose a white balance setting other than auto, and use manual focus. When time-lapse photographs are recorded with a “1920 × 1080 crop” option selected for movie frame size, the area used for metering exposure, fl ash level, and auto white balance is not the same as the area in the fi nal photographs, with the result that optimal results may not be achieved. Take test shots and check the results in the monitor.
