■■About interval recording

When the shutter button is pressed fully, the camera will automatically start taking pictures.

••In between the individual shots, the camera turns off automatically when no operation is performed for the preset interval. At the time determined for the shooting to start or after the determined interval between the shots, the camera turns on automatically and the lens zooms to the previously set focal length to take a picture. (Do not attach the lens cap during standby.)

••When the camera ON/OFF switch is set to [OFF], interval recording will end. To continue interval recording, leave the camera ON/OFF switch to [ON].

••When you want to perform interval recording using the flash, open the flash and perform the flash settings in advance.
