This mode allows a specified number of images to be captured over a fixed time-interval. The interval can be set to 1, 3, 10, or 60 minutes, and the number of images can be set from 2 to 99. Between shots, the viewfinder LED flashes red and the LCD monitor is automatically turned off.

EV compensation is used when a suitable brightness (exposure) cannot be obtained in circumstances of high contrast (the difference in brightness between the subject and the background) is large, or when the subject that you want to photograph is very small within the screen.
