Note on Interval Timer Shooting
• To prevent the camera from turning off unexpectedly during recording, use a fully charged battery.
• To power the camera continuously for extended periods, use an AC Adapter EH-62A (available
separately from Nikon) (A 136). Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model
of AC adapter. Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the
camera.
• Do not rotate the mode dial, while performing interval-timer shooting.
