During Shooting

During interval timer photography, the icon in the top control panel will blink. Imme- diately before the next shooting interval begins, the shutter speed display will show the number of intervals remaining, and the aperture display will

show the number of shots remaining in the current interval. At other times, the number of intervals remaining and the number of shots in each interval can be viewed by pressing the shutter-release button halfway (once the but- ton is released, the shutter speed and aperture will be displayed until the exposure meters turn off).
