The screens in Figure 3-61 look a little daunting, but it might
help you to realize that the bottom half of screens 2-6 is
informational in nature. It shows the settings you create with
the top half of each screen.
There are four steps involved in configuring Interval timer
shooting:
▪ Choose a Start Time.
▪ Choose an Interval.
▪ Choose the number of intervals (Select intvls).
▪ Choose the number of shots per interval (no. of shots).
So, if I wanted to take a series of images starting Now (Start
time), and shoot every 10 seconds (Interval), over a period of
30 seconds, or 3 intervals (number of intervals), making 2
images per interval (number of shots), I would set the
following (get your camera and try these steps yourself so that
it’ll make sense to you):
1. Under Choose start time (see Figure 3-61, image 2), you
could select Now, and the timer will start 3 seconds after
you’ve complete steps 3–5 (skipping step 2). If you
select Now, the camera will skip step 2 since it selects a
start time. If you’d rather start at a future time—instead
of now—simply select Start time from screen 2 and
scroll right, then move on to step 2.
2. You will now see a Start time menu (see Figure 3-61,
image 3) with the time in 24-hour (military) format:
▪ 00:00
