When the camera lens focus function is set as [AF], most cameras will not perform a shooting operation if they cannot find a focus point, even if they received a shooting signal.

Below is an example to show the operation of timer schedule shooting with the following settings:

Delay time [DELAY] = 5 sec

Exposure time [LONG] = 1 sec

Shooting interval [INTVL] = 5 sec

Shooting numbers [N1] = 2

Repeat interval time [REPEAT] = 5 sec

Repeat times [N2] = 2 times

In this scenario, the device will wait 5 seconds (DELAY), then take 2 shots (N1). Each shot will have a 1-second exposure (LONG) with a 5-second interval (INTVL) between them. After this sequence is complete, it will wait 5 seconds (REPEAT) and then repeat the entire sequence one more time, for a total of two sequences (N2).
