Use of a tripod is recommended.

Take a Test Shot

Before beginning interval timer photography, take a test shot at current settings and view the results in the monitor. Remember that the camera will focus before each shot—no shots will be taken if the camera is unable to focus in single-servo AF.

Use a Reliable Power Source

To ensure that shooting is not interrupted, be sure the battery is fully charged. If in doubt, charge the battery before shooting or use an optional EH-6 AC adapter.

Check the Time

Before choosing a starting time, select World Time in the setup menu and make sure that the camera clock is set to the correct time and date (18).

Out of Memory

If the memory card is full, the interval timer will remain active but no pictures will be taken. Delete some pictures or turn the camera off and insert another memory card. When the camera is turned on, interval timer photography will be paused. See “Paus- ing Interval Timer Photography” on the following page for information on resuming interval timer photography.

Bracketing

Adjust bracketing settings before starting interval timer photography. If exposure and/or ﬂash bracketing is active while interval timer photography is in effect, the cam- era will take the number of shots in the bracketing program at each interval, regardless of the number of shots speciﬁed in the interval timer menu. If white balance brack- eting is active while interval timer photography is in effect, the camera will take the number of shots speciﬁed in the interval timer menu and process each shot to create the number of copies speciﬁed in the bracketing program.

The Viewﬁnder Eyepiece

In exposure modes other than manual, close the view- ﬁnder eyepiece shutter to prevent light entering via the viewﬁnder from interfering with exposure.
