Interval-Timer Photography

  • Note that the actual time between shots during interval-timer photography is determined not only by the length of the interval but also includes the time needed to complete the exposures and perform such tasks as downloading and processing the photographs in NX Tether. As a result, the camera may be unable to take shots at the selected interval.
  • Camera controls cannot be used during interval-timer photography even if [Enable Controls on Camera Body] is enabled in the [Camera] menu.
  • (single frame) is selected for release mode during interval timer photography.
