Confused yet? I hope not. Setting up interval shooting is
relatively simple once you get past the complications in
Nikon's menu design and get used to the slightly odd naming.
However, there are a few other things you need to take into
consideration if you're going to use interval shooting
effectively:
The power source must be secure. Start with a full battery,
•
or better yet, use the EH-5a AC adapter if you can.
Use a big enough card. In Step 8 the camera told you how
•
many shots you requested. Use the
Capacities
how big a storage card you need to store all those shots at
the image quality you've selected. If for some reason you
need to come out and change cards in the camera during
the interval shooting, select Pause in Step 10d, change
your card, and then select Start.
If you use a starting time, make sure the camera's clock is
•
correct. Seems simple enough, but if you need the camera
to begin shooting at a particular time, you'll want to make
sure that the camera is at the correct time. Note that the
camera displays the current time in the lower right corner
of the color LCD while you're setting the interval
functions, so make a habit of verifying that the camera is
correct (I just noticed that my camera didn't get reset for
Daylight Savings Time, for example).
Yes, bracketing works. If you've selected either white
•
balance or exposure bracketing of any kind, you'll get a
