Take Test Shots

Return to shooting mode. Record movie as described on page 88.

We recommend taking a test shot and viewing the results in the monitor before re- cording movies at a setting of Time-lapse movie.

During Recording

To save power, the monitor turns off between frames; the green (AF) lamp blinks to show that recording is in progress. The monitor turns on automatically about ten seconds before the camera takes the next shot. Time-lapse photography will end automatically if the camera is unable to finish recording a frame in the selected interval (this may occur if a microdrive or other memory card with a slow write time is used).

Use a Reliable Power Source

We recommend using the optional EH-53 AC adapter or EH-21 AC adapter/battery charger when recording time-lapse photos at intervals of ten minutes or more.
