Notes on Auto Interval Rec mode

Take note of the following points.

• Time code

In Auto Interval Rec mode, the internal time code generator runs in R- RUN mode regardless of how the F-RUN/SET/R-RUN switch is set.

The real time of the shooting is saved in the user bits.3 When you need to set the internal clock, use the TIME DATE page of

the DIAGNOSIS menu.

For details, see “4-8-6 Setting the Date/Time of the Internal Clock” on page 4- 114.
