D5000 Interval Timer Shooting

Rookie to your forum, but need assistance on Interval Timer Shooting. On my D5000, I've placed it in manual mode, only place I can see "Interval Timer Shooting" but it is shaded as if not an available option. I've searched the internet for hours without a solution, even factory reset it to see if that would fix the issue without success.

What am I doing wrong?

Did discover limitations of less than 64GB card for shooting video, swapped out card to 16GB just to be certain that wasn't it, now don't see the option under "Shooting" menu at all.

Lens, discovered only see this menu option with the kit lens 18-55mm only.

Can access only with a 35mm 1:1.8G primary lens (hope I'm not embarrassing myself calling it this.'

I want to document a building project coming up in a couple of weeks, set camera on tripod and forget about it til the end on each day to capture the daily progress.

Any suggestions from the pro's out there?

This may not be specific to your camera, but it's worth a shot.

Usually it is date and time like in the article Blacktop linked. Not sure why it would care about the lens as long as it could meter. I'm not sure what you mean here, you can only see it with the 18-55, but only access it with the 35?? Try the date and time and see what happens.
