Interval Timer Shooting
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun
or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image
sensor or the camera’s internal components.
If the lens’s focus mode switch is set to < AF >, the camera will not shoot
when focus is not achieved. Setting it to < MF > and focusing manually is
recommended.
Live View shooting, movie shooting, or bulb exposures cannot be
performed with interval timer.
For prolonged interval timer shooting, using AC Adapter Kit ACK-E6
(sold separately) to power the camera is recommended.
If a long exposure or shutter speed longer than the shooting interval is
set, the camera cannot shoot at the set interval. The camera will thereby
shoot fewer shots than the number set for interval timer shooting. Also,
the number of shots may decrease when the shutter speed and the
shooting interval are nearly the same.
If card recording time is longer than the set shooting interval, due to card
performance or shooting settings, etc., the camera may not shoot at the
set shooting interval.
If you use flash with interval timer shooting, set an interval longer than
the flash’s recycling time. Otherwise, if the interval is too short, the flash
may not fire.
If the shooting interval is too short, the camera may not take a picture or
may capture an image without autofocusing.
Interval timer shooting will be canceled and reset to [ Disable ] if you do
any of the following: Set the power switch to <
2
>, display the Live
View or movie shooting screen, set the shooting mode to <
F
> or a
Custom shooting mode, or use EOS Utility (EOS software, p.521).
After interval timer shooting starts, you cannot use remote control
shooting (p.237) or remote-release shooting with an EOS-dedicated,
external Speedlite.
During interval timer shooting, if your eye will not remain on the
viewfinder eyepiece, attach the eyepiece cover (p.236). Stray light
entering the viewfinder can throw off the exposure.
