DOut of Memory

If the memory card is full, the interval timer will remain active but no pictures will be taken. Resume shooting (0 158) after deleting some pictures or turning the camera off and inserting another memory card.

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 81).

ARelease Mode

Regardless of the release mode selected, the camera will take the specified number of shots at each interval. In CH (continuous high speed) mode, photographs will be taken at a rate of up to 6 shots per second. In S (single frame) and CL (continuous low-speed) modes, photographs will be taken at the rate chosen for Custom Setting d6 (CL mode shooting speed, 0 217); in mode J, camera noise will be reduced.

ABracketing

Adjust bracketing settings before starting interval timer photography. If exposure, flash, or ADL bracketing is active while interval timer photography is in effect, the camera 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 bracketing is active while interval timer photography is in effect, the camera will take one shot at each interval and process it to create the number of copies specified in the bracketing program.

ADuring Shooting

During interval timer photography, the Qicon in the control panel

 

will blink. Immediately 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 button is released, the shutter speed and aperture will be

 

displayed until the exposure meters turn off).

 

To view current interval timer settings, select Interval timer

 

shooting between shots. While interval timer photography is in

 

progress, the interval timer menu will show the starting time, the

 

shooting interval, and the number of intervals and shots remaining.

 

None of these items can be changed while interval timer

 

photography is in progress.

t

Pictures can be played back and shooting and menu settings can be adjusted freely while interval timer photography is in progress. The monitor will turn off automatically about four seconds before each interval.
