    • Delay (DEL): Initial delay before the first shot.
    • Long (LONG): Exposure time for each shot (for Bulb mode).
    • Interval (INTVL): Time between the end of one exposure and the start of the next.
    • Number (N): Number of shots to take.
    • Repeat (RPT): Number of times to repeat the entire sequence.
  3. Press the start button to begin the timed sequence.

Example: To take 10 photos with a 5-second interval between each, set N=10, INTVL=00:00:05. If using Bulb mode, set LONG to your desired exposure time.
