When you’re ready to go, set up the D7000 for interval shooting:
1. Select timer. Choose Interval Timer Shooting from the Shooting menu.
2. Specify a starting time. You must do this before the D7000 will let you set other
parameters. Highlight either Now or Start Time and press the multi selector right
button. If you choose Now, the interval shooting will begin approximately three sec-
onds after you’ve finished setting the parameters beginning with Step 5. If you select
Start Time, you’ll be able to enter a specific time, as described in Steps 3 and 4.
3. Choose start time. When the Start Time sub-screen appears, use the multi selec-
tor left/right buttons to highlight the hours or minutes, and the up/down buttons
to increase or decrease the hours/minutes entry. The 24-hour clock is used, so you
can specify a time from 00:00 (midnight) to 23:59 (one minute to midnight).
When both hours and minutes have been set, press the multi selector right button
to move the highlighting to the Interval section of the sub-screen.
4. Set the interval between exposures. You can use the left/right buttons to move
among hours, minutes, and seconds, and use the up/down buttons to choose an
interval from one second to 24 hours. Press the right button when finished to move
down to the number of intervals/shots per interval sub-screen.

5. Set number of intervals and shots per interval. Use the left/right buttons to high-
light the number of intervals, the number of shots taken after each interval has
elapsed, and the total number of shots to be exposed overall. You can highlight each
number column separately, so that to enter, say, 250 intervals you can set the 100s,
10s, and 1s columns individually (rather than press the up button 250 times!). You
can select up to 999 intervals, and 9 shots per interval for a maximum of 8991 expo-
sures with one interval shooting cycle.
6. Start. When all the parameters have been entered, press the multi selector right but-
ton once more, and the Start subscreen appears, with the choices On or Off. Choose
either one and press OK. If you activate interval shooting, a message is displayed
on the monitor one minute before each series of shots begins.
Tip
The interval cannot be shorter than the shutter speed; for example, you cannot
set one second as the interval if the images will be taken at two seconds or longer.
