6 Start shooting.
Highlight Start > On and press J (to return to
the shooting menu without starting the interval
timer, highlight Start > Off and press J).
The
first shot will be taken at the specified starting
time, or after about three seconds if Now was
selected for Choose start time in Step 2.
The self-timer lamp blinks while
shooting is in progress; shooting will continue at the selected interval until all
shots have been taken.
Note that because shutter speed and the time needed
to record the image to the memory card may vary from shot to shot, the interval
between a shot being recorded and the start of the next shot may vary.
D Before Shooting
Before beginning interval timer photography, take a test shot at current settings and view
the results in the monitor. To ensure that shooting starts at the desired time, check that the
camera clock is correctly set (0 20). Settings can not be changed while interval timer
photography is in progress.
Use of a tripod is recommended. Mount the camera on a tripod before shooting begins.
To ensure that shooting is not interrupted, be sure the EN-EL9a battery is fully charged or use
an optional EH-5a AC adapter and EP-5 power connector.
D Bracketing
Bracketing can not be used with interval timer shooting.
A Cover the Viewfinder
Before starting the interval timer, remove the
rubber eyecup (q) and insert the supplied
DK-5 eyepiece cap as shown (w).
This
prevents light entering via the viewfinder
interfering with exposure. Hold the camera
firmly when removing the eyepiece cup.
A Release Mode
Regardless of the mode selected, the camera automatically takes one photograph at each
interval; the self-timer and remote control can not be used.
Camera noise is reduced in quiet
shutter-release mode.
A Interrupting Interval Timer Shooting
To interrupt interval timer shooting, turn the camera off or rotate the mode dial to another
position. Returning the monitor to the storage position does not interrupt interval timer
shooting.
