To save power, the monitor and electronic viewfinder turn off between frames. The display turns on automatically immediately before the camera takes the next shot.

Image Quality

The file size of time lapse movies varies greatly depending on the option selected for image quality. If HI or RAW is selected, image quality will automatically be set to EXTRA. Movies recorded at settings of EXTRA, FINE, and NORMAL may seem slightly jerky when viewed on the camera but will play back normally when displayed on a computer.
