Time-Lapse Photography
The camera automatically takes photos at selected intervals to
create a silent time-lapse movie using the options currently selected for Frame size/frame rate, Movie quality, and Destination in the movie settings menu (0 62). For information
on the image area used for time-lapse movies, see page 59.
ABefore Shooting
Before beginning time-lapse photography, take a test shot at current settings (framing the photo in the viewfinder for an accurate exposure preview) and view the results in the monitor. For consistent coloration, choose a white balance setting other than auto (0 148). Once settings have been adjusted to your satisfaction, close the viewfinder eyepiece shutter to prevent light entering via the viewfinder interfering with photographs and exposure (0 106).
Use of a tripod is recommended. Mount the camera on a tripod before shooting begins. To ensure that shooting is not interrupted, use an optional AC adapter and power connector or a fully-charged battery.
