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; choose an interval longer than the slowest 
anticipated shutter speed. 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

, the interval 

is zero, or the start time is in less than a minute), a warning 
will be displayed in the monitor.
