Using Time-Lapse Photography
You can use the menu to switch on the time lapse mode and select the timer interval
between automatic exposures. For example, if you set the time interval for 5 minutes, you
can capture each stage of a flower opening in the morning. You can set the time interval
in minutes for the shooting session within the range 1 minute up to 24 hours. The actual
time between shots may differ slightly from the time interval setting. (See “Actual time
interval” on page 128.) The camera will continue to take pictures in the time lapse mode
until the batteries discharge or until the memory card fills up. To cancel time lapse
photography, just switch the camera off and on.
