The interval mode makes a series of still images over a period of time. Similar to time-
lapse photography, a series of images of a slow moving event can be taken: the
blossoming of a flower, the construction of a building. The built-in flash can be used.
Instant playback (p. 89) is disabled.
Use the function dial to set the drive mode to interval
(p. 40). The number of frames in
the series will be displayed on the monitors next to the interval icon. The number of
frames can be set between two and ninety nine on the Custom 1 section of the
recording-mode menu (p. 80). The interval period is also set on the recording-mode
menu; 1 - 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, and 60 minutes.
After mounting the camera on a tripod, compose the image so that the subject area
falls within the focus frames; the camera sets the focus, exposure, and white balance,
and charges the flash just before each exposure. Continuous AF can be used.
Settings locked with the AF/AEL button are canceled after the first frame (p. 73).
To override the automatic systems, use manual focus (p. 71), manual exposure (p. 50),
and manual white balance (p. 58).
Confirm the CompactFlash card has enough storage capacity for the series by compar-
ing the number of frames in the interval series with the number of recordable images
displayed on the frame counter. Image size and quality settings can be changed to
increase the number of pictures that can
be saved on the CompactFlash card (p.
40).
