• A new folder is created when Interval Shooting is performed, and the captured images are saved there. When shooting in another drive mode after performing Interval Shooting, another new folder is created.

• The shortest time that can be set for [Interval] is 5 seconds for [Digital Filter] and [Clarity Enhancement], and 10 seconds for [HDR Capture] and Y mode.

• For Interval Shooting, Interval Composite, and Interval Movie Record, the second and later exposures start at the interval set in [Interval]. If the exposure time is longer than the time set in [Interval], some of the pictures that are supposed to be taken at the set interval are not actually taken. For example, if the time set in [Interval] is 2 seconds and the exposure time is 3 seconds, the first exposure has not yet finished at the time the second exposure is supposed to be started (2 seconds after shooting has started), and so the second picture is not taken. As a result, Interval Shooting ends before the specified number of shots are taken. In such cases, you can set [Standby Interval] in [10 Interval Shooting Options] of the E2 menu so that pictures are taken at the set interval after each exposure ends. The screen displayed in Step 5 varies depending on the [10 Interval Shooting Options] setting.

• For Interval Shooting and Interval Composite, the focus position used when the first picture is taken is locked. When performing autofocus for each exposure, set [11 AF in Interval Shooting] to [Adjusts focus for each shot] in the E2 menu.
