ACalculating the Length of the Final Movie The total number of frames in the final movie can be calculated 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; 24 fps, for example, will be about two seconds long. The maximum length for movies recorded using time-lapse photography is 20 minutes.

ADuring Shooting

During time-lapse photography, a Qicon will blink 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 (Auto meter-off delay, 0 291), the exposure meters will not turn off during shooting.

To view current time-lapse photography settings, press the Gbutton 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.
