 HINT

Interval Timer Shooting

This method captures a set number of frames recorded at set intervals of time. Click the [Shooting] menu 
and select [Interval Timer Shooting]. (Short intervals may be insufficient for image transmission and saving, 
resulting in the failure to capture images at the specified interval.)

Timer Shooting

This method captures a single image after a set number of seconds. Click the [Shooting] menu and select 
[Timer shooting]. The timer interval settings range from 2 seconds to 30 seconds.

Displaying Subjects on the Camera’s LCD Monitor

You can use the camera’s LCD monitor or a television connected to the camera to view the subject while 
shooting remotely. Click the [Camera] menu and select [Camera Display Settings]. See the 

Camera User 

Guide for TV connection instructions.

Shooting Without Worrying about Memory Card Capacity

Clicking the [RemoteCapture DC] menu and selecting [Preferences] opens the Preferences window. If you 
place a check mark beside [Computer only] in the [Save Images On] section, you can continue recording 
without worrying about free space on the camera’s memory card.
