Interval Timer on My eos r 10 not working

[Natechenry]

Hi so im trying to shoot an interval timer of the sun today. I have the time set for 3:00:00 hours and 90 for the shots. It should be a shot every 2 minutes but it doesn’t shoot after i initially hit the shutter to begin the interval. Anyone know why?

Hi Nate!

Welcome to the community!  The Interval setting represents the amount of time between shots.  If you set that to 3:00:00 hours it means that each shot will be taken 3 hours apart.  If you want to take a photo every 2 minutes you would set the Interval to 00:02:00.   You would then set the number of shots at 90.  The manual has details here: https://canon.us/3kskyUN.

Thanks ron a lot! I was confused at first but it makes sense now.
