Night Lapse Photo Interval
Interval determines the rate at which photos are captured. Night Lapse
intervals are Auto, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 seconds, and 1, 2, 5, 30, and
60 minutes.
Auto (default) causes the Interval to match the Shutter setting. For
example, if Shutter is set to 10 seconds and Interval is set to Auto, your
camera captures a photo every 10 seconds. Photos are captured at 12MP.
