Page 21 highlights

Note: The 10-Second Timer mode is disabled for the Timelapse image type. Note: If the interval you set for Timelapse image capture is long, the camera may go into sleep mode (shutting off the image LCD) between taking pictures to conserve battery power. Also, if you set the Timelapse interval to 15 or 30 sec and you have the File Type set to TIFF, the camera may skip capturing an image if it is not finished processing the previous image in the Timelapse sequence. Note: If you are unhappy with one or more images within a Timelapse sequence, you can delete only those images in the Review mode (rather than deleting all of the images in the sequence during Instant Review). To do this, see "Deleting Images" on page 32. Note: All images in a Timelapse sequence are saved as one group on the memory card.
