Shooting Star Trails (Interval Composite)
Merges a series of continuous images taken at fixed intervals in such a way
that the bright areas remain. Use when you want to record the trails of light
formed by stars or the moon by shooting a fixed position in nightscapes.

Set the mode dial to Av/Tv/TAv/M, and then try taking a shot.

are merged.

On the [Shooting] menu, select [Interval Composite].
The settings from step 2 will be carried over.
