This will check that the script is correct and that you do not have any skipped images due to delays in writing and the program has correctly set the exposure for each image.
If you dont do this there is a high probabality that you will have a problem.
And you only get ONE go at it on the day.
Happy snapping.

Oh and look at your battery life, turn off the auto focus, and a whole other swathe of stuff......including the "backup plan"
