Chapter 8 Setup: Playback and Shooting Menus

PAUSE OR CANCEL INTERVAL SHOOTING

Press the MENU button between intervals (but not when images are still being recorded to the memory card), choose the Interval Timer Shooting menu entry, and select Pause. Interval shooting can also be paused by turning the camera on or off, or by rotating the release mode dial to Live View, self-timer, or Mup positions. To resume the Interval Timer Shooting menu again, press the multi selector left button, and choose Restart. You may also select Off to stop the shooting entirely.

Remote Control Mode

This option lets you select how you want the D7000 to respond to the optional ML- L3 infrared remote control. I really like how this camera has IR sensors on both front and back, which makes this remote much more useful. It’s smaller than the MC-D10 wired remote, and doesn’t need to be “plugged in” to use. You have three choices in this menu entry:

2s Delayed remote. When you press the button on the remote, the shutter is trig- gered two seconds later. Use this mode when you want a short delay before the pic- ture is taken, say, for any camera movement to subside after you’ve adjusted one of the other controls.

Quick response remote. When you press the button on the remote, the shutter is triggered instantly. This mode is useful when you want to control the exact time the picture is taken, say, when some wildlife appears in the frame, or when you’re shooting remotely at a sports event.

Remote mirror up. When you press the button on the remote once, the mirror is raised. Once all the vibration from the mirror flip has subsided, press the remote button a second time to take the actual picture.
