Press 4 or 2 to highlight number of intervals (i.e., the number of times the camera shoots); press 1 or 3 to change. Press 2 to continue.

5Start shooting.

Highlight On and press J (to return to the shooting menu without starting the interval timer, highlight Off and press J). The first series of shots will be taken at the specified starting time, or after about 3 s if Now was

selected for Choose start time in Step 2. Shooting will continue at the selected interval until all shots have been taken. Note that because shutter speed and the time needed to record the image to the memory card may vary from shot to shot, intervals may be skipped if the camera is still in the process of recording the previous interval. If shooting can not proceed at current settings (for example, if a shutter speed of “Bulb” is currently selected in shooting mode M or the start time is in less than a minute), a warning will be displayed in the monitor.

ACover the Viewfinder

To prevent light entering via the viewfinder interfering with exposure, remove the rubber eyecup and cover the viewfinder with the supplied DK-5 eyepiece cap (0 32).

AOther Settings

Settings can not be adjusted during interval timer photography. Regardless of the release mode selected, the camera takes one photograph at each interval; in mode J, camera noise will be reduced. Bracketing (0 83), multiple exposure (0 73), and high dynamic range (HDR; 0 71) can not be used.

AInterrupting Interval Timer Photography

To interrupt interval timer shooting, turn the camera off or rotate the mode dial to a new setting. Returning the monitor to the storage position does not interrupt interval timer shooting.
