Camera status/control during interval timer operation
• When the set interval is relatively long, the camera's exposure meter turns off.
Camera's meter turns on 30 sec. before shots are taken. In autofocus operation,
autofocus is activated 2 sec. before shots are taken.
• Rear LCD panel display changes to shooting data and camera's settings can be
confirmed by pressing the INFO button.
• Normal shooting can be performed during interval timer photography. The interval
timer remains active and the selected repeating time and number of shots per
operation do not change.
• A set of shots will be canceled when focus cannot be achieved in Single Servo AF.
However, the next (and successive) set of shots will be taken.
• Interval timer is canceled when the film is rewound during the interval timer.
• An interval can be set regardless of the set/controlled shutter speed. When the start
time before the interval timer photography is reached during normal shooting, the
current set of shots will be canceled but next (and successive) set of shots will be taken.
• When the shutter speed is set to
controlled to 1/10 sec.
Combining interval timer with other functions
• In mirror up mode (
up.
• When two or more shots are selected for one operation in single frame shooting or
mirror up mode, film advance mode automatically changes to C
speed).
• When combined with Auto Exposure Bracketing (
one operation is automatically set to the number of shots selected in Bracketing.
When Auto Exposure Bracketing is set during interval timer operation, the number
of shots in one operation changes to the number of shots in Bracketing. (Number
of shots returns to the number set in interval timer when Bracketing is canceled.)
• Interval timer can be used together with multiple exposure mode (
For example, if the number of multiple exposure shots is set to three and the
number of shots in one in interval timer operation is set to two, two multiple
exposure shots will be taken in first set of shots (film is not advanced). The third
shot will be taken as the first shot of the next set of shots. The film is then
advanced, multiple exposure is canceled and the second shot is taken. Normal
interval timer photography is executed thereafter.
Imprinting data in interval timer photography
• Set the interval time to 2 sec. or longer when data imprint (
simultaneously set at temperature below 0°C (32°F). Also, data may not be imprinted
properly when Bracketing (
