About interval recording
When the shutter button is pressed fully, the camera will automatically start taking
pictures.
•In between the individual shots, the camera turns off automatically when no operation
is performed for the preset interval. At the time determined for the shooting to start or
after the determined interval between the shots, the camera turns on automatically
and the lens zooms to the previously set focal length to take a picture. (Do not attach
the lens cap during standby.)
•When the camera ON/OFF switch is set to [OFF], interval recording will end. To
continue interval recording, leave the camera ON/OFF switch to [ON].
•When you want to perform interval recording using the flash, open the flash and
perform the flash settings in advance.
