"Interval Timer Shooting"

Follow the steps below to create time-lapse movies using the Interval timer shooting option in the
photo shooting menu. Before proceeding, be sure to select a release mode other than E (self-timer).
Before Shooting
Before beginning interval timer photography, take a test shot at current settings and view the results in
the monitor. Once settings have been adjusted to your satisfaction, close the viewfinder eyepiece shut-
ter to prevent light entering via the viewfinder interfering with photographs and exposure.
Before choosing a starting time, select Time zone and date in the setup menu and make sure that the
camera clock is set to the correct time and date.
We recommend using a tripod and disabling lens vibration reduction (VR). Mount the camera on a
tripod before shooting begins. To ensure that shooting is not interrupted, be sure the camera battery
is fully charged. If in doubt, charge the battery before use or use an AC adapter and power connector
(available separately).

seconds) should be longer than the

lected number of shots to be recorded.
