# Cautions
• During interval timer photography:
- The camera focuses using [S-AF] autofocus
- Sequential shooting can not be used
- Touch-screen controls are not available
- Bulb photography and bracketing can not be used
• Depending on the time needed to charge the flash or process pictures after shooting,
photographs may be taken at intervals longer than selected.
• If the camera automatically turns off in interval between shots, it will turn on in time for the
next shot.
• If the any of the still pictures are not recorded correctly, the time lapse movie will not be
generated.
• If there is insufficient space on the card, the time lapse movie will not be recorded.
• The following end interval timer photography:
Rotating the mode dial / Pressing the MENU or q button / Connecting a USB cable
• If you turn off the camera, time lapse shooting will be cancelled.
• If there is not enough charge left on the battery, the shooting may end partway through.
Make sure the battery is suitably charged before starting.
