INTERVAL

The interval mode makes a series of still or moving images over a period of time. Similar to time- lapse photography, a series of images of a slow moving event can be taken: the blossoming of a flower, the construction of a building. The built-in flash can be used. Instant playback (p. 100) is dis- abled.

The parameters of the interval series is set up in section 2 of the recording menu. The length of the interval between frames, the number of frames in the series, and the start time are set with the menu. See page 96.
