Choose the number of intervals.
Press 4 or 2 to highlight number of
intervals (i.e., the number of times the
camera shoots); press 1 or 3 to change.
Press 2 to continue.
5
Start shooting.
Highlight On and press J (to return to the
shooting menu without starting the interval
timer, highlight Off and press J). The first
series of shots will be taken at the specified
starting time, or after about 3 s if Now was selected for Choose start time in
Step 2. Shooting will continue at the selected interval until all shots have been
taken; while shooting is in progress, the memory card access lamp will flash at
regular intervals. Note that because shutter speed and the time needed to
record the image to the memory card may vary from shot to shot, intervals may
be skipped if the camera is still in the process of recording the previous interval.
If shooting can not proceed at current settings (for example, if a shutter speed
of "Bulb" or "Time" is currently selected in shooting mode M or the start time is
in less than a minute), a warning will be displayed in the monitor.

Cover the Viewfinder
To prevent light entering via the viewfinder interfering with exposure, remove the rubber
eyecup and cover the viewfinder with the supplied eyepiece cap (0 50).
A
Other Settings
Settings can not be adjusted during interval timer photography. Regardless of the release
mode selected, the camera takes one photograph at each interval; in mode J, camera noise
will be reduced. Bracketing (0 108), multiple exposure (0 98), and high dynamic range
(HDR; 0 96) can not be used.
A
Interrupting Interval Timer Photography
To interrupt interval timer shooting, turn the camera off or rotate the mode dial to a new
setting. Returning the monitor to the storage position does not interrupt interval timer
shooting.
