Getting Ready

Take the steps below to prepare for auto-capture photography.

Ready a Power Source

Ready a fully-charged battery.
A fully-charged EN‑EL18d battery provides enough power for about four and a half hours of
shooting. Note, however, that this can vary widely with auto capture settings and shooting
conditions.
If you have access to an AC power supply, we recommend that you use the camera's supplied EH‑7P
charging AC adapter or an optional EP‑6a power connector and EH‑6d AC adapter.

Ready Memory Cards

After adjusting image size and quality (JPEG, RAW, or JPEG + RAW), choosing shooting and minimum
wait times, and taking a test shot to estimate the file size, ready memory cards with enough capacity to
hold all the shots that may be taken.

Fix the Camera in Place

We recommend fixing the camera to a tripod or other mount when using it for auto capture. Be sure
the camera is secure and won't fall off or blow over.

Theft Prevention
If the camera will be out of sight, check to make sure the location is safe. We recommend attaching a
Kensington-compatible cable lock to the camera's security slot even in locations that seem secure.

Take Steps to Prevent Condensation

We recommend using a third-party lens heater in environments prone to condensation.
