Time-Lapse Photography

The camera automatically takes photos at selected intervals to create a silent time-lapse movie using the options currently selected for Movie settings in the shooting menu (0 293).

ABefore Shooting

Before beginning time-lapse photography, take a test shot at current settings (framing the photo in the viewfinder for an accurate exposure preview) and view the results in the monitor. To record changes in brightness, choose manual exposure (0 129); for consistent coloration, choose a white balance setting other than auto (0 153). We also recommend that you briefly switch to movie live view and check the current image area crop in the monitor (0 63); note, however, that time-lapse photography is not available in live view.

Use of a tripod is recommended. Mount the camera on a tripod before shooting begins. To ensure that shooting is not interrupted, use an optional EH-6b AC adapter and EP-6 power connector or a fully-charged EN-EL18 battery.
