Confirm the CompactFlash card has enough storage capacity for the series by comparing the num- ber of frames in the interval series with the number of recordable images displayed on the frame counter. When taking still-images, image size and quality settings can be changed to increase the number of pictures that can be saved on the CompactFlash card (p. 78).
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 count down the remaining frames in the interval series. The access lamp will glow when an image is being recorded.
The setting sun: 10 minute intervals
The camera will stop recording images and reset to the first frame when the number of frames set has been taken, or when the CompactFlash card is full. To cancel the interval series, turn off the camera.
When viewing time-lapse movies on a computer, the computer performance is important. On slower computers, frames may be dropped during the playback of movies recorded at 2560 X 1920.
