Before Shooting
Select a release mode other than self-timer (E) or mirror-up (M
using the interval timer. Before beginning interval timer photography,
take a test shot at current settings and view the results in the monitor.
Remember that the camera will focus before each shot—no shots will
be taken if the camera is unable to focus in single-servo AF.
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 (0 29).
Use of a tripod is recommended. Mount the camera on a tripod before
shooting begins. To ensure that shooting is not interrupted, be sure the
battery is fully charged.
