DTime-Lapse Photography
Time-lapse is not available in live view (049, 57), at a shutter speed of A (079), when
bracketing (0153), High Dynamic Range (HDR, 0139), multiple exposure (0160), or
interval timer photography (0164) is active.
ARelease Mode
Regardless of the release mode selected, the camera will take one shot at each interval.
The
self-timer can not be used.
Time-lapse photography is not available in remote (4) release
mode.
ACalculating the Length of the Final Movie
The total number of frames in the final movie can be approximated
by dividing the shooting time by the interval and rounding up.
The
length of the final movie can then be calculated by diving the
number of shots by the frame rate selected for Movie settings >
Frame size/frame rate.
A 48 frame movie recorded at 1920 × 1080;
24p, for example, will be about two seconds long.
The maximum
length for movies recorded using time-lapse photography is 20
minutes.
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 (086).
ADuring Shooting
During time-lapse photography, a Q icon will flash and the time-
lapse recording indicator will be displayed in the control panel.
The
time remaining (in hours and minutes) appears in the shutter-speed
display immediately before each frame is recorded.
At other times,
the time remaining can be viewed by pressing the shutter-release
button halfway.
Regardless of the option selected for Custom Setting c2 (Standby timer,
0227), the standby timer will not expire during shooting.
To view current time-lapse photography settings, press the G
button between shots.
While time-lapse photography is in progress,
the time-lapse photography menu will show the interval and the
time remaining.
These settings can not be changed while time-lapse
photography is in progress, nor can pictures be played back or other
menu settings adjusted.
