Creating a time lapse picture series
The exposure and focusing settings are no different from those of
normal pictures, but it should be taken into account that the
lighting conditions may change during the course of the picture
series.
• The time until the first picture and the number of pictures are
shown in the upper right corner of the monitor image.
Press the shutter release button to start the series
• The remaining number of pictures will be displayed briefly
between the pictures and a corresponding message will be
displayed after the series has been completed.
Notes:
• The pictures in a series are saved as a group.
• If the camera is set to automatically turn off and no operations
are carried out, it may shut off between the individual pictures
and then turn on again.
• This does not make the camera suitable for use as a monitoring
device.
• If the camera will be left unattended while taking time lapse
pictures, take precautions to ensure that it won't get stolen.
• Time lapse photography carried out over a longer period of time
at a cold location or in a place with high temperatures and
humidity may result in malfunctioning.
• Under certain conditions it may not be possible to take time
lapse pictures, depending on the picture interval or amount that
has been set.
• Use a sufficiently charged battery.
• The taking of time lapse pictures will be interrupted or stopped
in the following situations:
– If the battery loses its charge
– If the camera is turned off
If this happens while you are photographing a time lapse
picture series, you may proceed by turning off the camera,
changing the battery or memory card, and then turning the
camera back on. The pictures that are taken after this will be
saved in their own group.
• While time lapse pictures are being taken, neither a USB nor an
HDMI microcable can be connected to the camera.
• Time lapse pictures cannot be taken with the panorama
function.
• The function will remain active, even after a sequence or after
the camera has been turned on and off. If you want to take
normal pictures again, you will have to activate the desired
function in the
Scene Mode
• In review mode, time lapse pictures are identified with
menu.
