Interval Timer Shooting
Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun
or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image
sensor or the camera’s internal components.
If the lens’s focus mode switch is set to <AF>, the camera will not shoot
when focus is not achieved. Setting it to <MF> and focusing manually is
recommended.
Live View shooting, movie shooting, or bulb exposures cannot be
performed with interval timer.
If the shooting time is long, using DC Coupler DR-E6 (sold separately)
and AC Adapter AC-E6N (sold separately) is recommended.
If a shutter speed longer than the shooting interval is set, such as a long
exposure, the camera cannot shoot with the set interval. The camera will
thereby shoot fewer shots than the number set for interval timer
shooting. Also, the number of shots may decrease when the shutter
speed and the shooting interval are nearly the same.
If the image recording time on the card is longer than the set shooting
interval due to card performance or shooting settings, etc., the camera
may not shoot with the set shooting interval.
If you use flash with interval timer shooting, set an interval longer than
the flash’s recycling time. If the interval is too short, the flash may not
fire.
If the shooting interval is too short, the camera may not take a picture or
may capture an image without autofocusing.
Interval timer shooting will be canceled and reset to [Disable] if you do
any of the following: Set the power switch to <2>, display the Live
View or movie shooting screen, set the shooting mode to
>, or use EOS Utility (EOS software, p.512).
After interval timer shooting starts, you cannot use remote control
shooting (p.221) or remote-release shooting with an EOS-dedicated,
external Speedlite.
If your eye will not remain on the viewfinder eyepiece during interval
timer shooting, attach the eyepiece cover (p.220). If stray light enters the
viewfinder when the picture is taken, it may throw off the exposure.
