About Spy Mode

This mode is used to capture continuous images at a preselected time interval. This mode is useful for taking a sequence of images, like a sunrise or sunset, and later selecting the best image. It is also useful for taking a series of pictures without being discovered by the subject. For example, a bird’ s nest with an egg hatching. A compact tripod accessory is helpful to keep the camera aimed at the subject.
