•Refer to “Interval Movie” (p.132) for information on how to perform Interval Shooting in C mode.

•If the mode dial or the main switch is turned while shooting, the pictures that have been already taken are saved and Interval Shooting is ended.

•[Single Frame Shooting] is used regardless of the current drive mode setting.

•If the subject is not in focus with the focus mode set to l or the previous image processing cannot be completed before taking the next picture, no picture may be taken.

•Although each shot taken is displayed with Instant Review, they cannot be magnified, deleted, or saved in RAW format.

•The monitor turns off during the intervals between shots.

•If the Auto Power Off function turns the camera off before starting Interval Shooting, the camera automatically turns on again when the shooting time approaches.

When using Interval Shooting, use the optional AC adapter kit or install a fully charged battery. If the battery becomes depleted during Interval Shooting, recording may stop.
