Notes about [Intvl timer shooting] • To prevent the camera from turning off unexpectedly during shooting, use a sufficiently charged battery. • If the EH-5d AC Adapter and the EP-5C Power Connector (both available separately) are used, this camera can be powered from an electrical outlet. Do not, under any circumstances, use an AC adapter other than the EH-5d. Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or damage to the camera. EH-5d AC Adapter and EP-5C Power Connector (page 258) • Do not rotate the mode dial to a different setting while interval timer shooting is in progress. Doing so causes the camera to stop shooting. • If the shutter speed is slow and saving an image takes time compared to the specified interval, some of the shots during Interval timer shooting may be canceled. ISO sensitivity A higher ISO sensitivity allows darker subjects to be captured. Additionally, even with subjects of similar brightness, pictures can be taken at faster shutter speeds, and blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement can be reduced. • When a higher ISO sensitivity is set, images may contain noise.
