 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.
 
For prolonged interval timer shooting, using the household power outlet 
accessories (sold separately, p.530) is recommended.
 
If a shutter speed longer than the shooting interval, such as a long 
exposure, is set, the camera cannot shoot with the set interval. The 
camera will thereby shoot fewer still photos 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 the shooting functions set, card performance, etc., some 
of the shots may not be taken with the set intervals.
 
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 shooting or movie shooting screen, set the shooting mode to <F>, 
<w>, <x>, or <y>, or use EOS Utility (EOS software, p.598).
 
After interval timer shooting starts, you cannot use remote control 
shooting (p.279) 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.278). If stray light enters the 
viewfinder when the picture is taken, it may throw off the exposure.
