Self-Timer Operation

•You can use the self-timer when you want to be in the photograph. Use a tripod or place the camera on a stable surface before using the self- timer.

1Set the film advance mode selector to V while pressing the film advance mode selector lock release.

•Self-timer shooting cannot be performed unless the camera’s shutter can be released (i.e. when subject cannot be brought into focus with autofocus in Single Servo AF).

•To shoot in an exposure mode other than Manual, cover the eyepiece with the supplied eyepiece cap DK-5 (page 3) or with your hand before pressing the shutter release button to prevent interference and achieve correct exposure from stray light.

•Do not stand in front of the lens when setting the self-timer in autofocus mode.

2 Compose picture, focus by lightly pressing the shutter

release button and fully depress the shutter release button.

•Once the self-timer is activated, the shutter will release in 10 seconds. The self-timer indicator LED will blink for 8 sec. and then illuminate for 2 sec. before the shutter is released.

•To cancel the self-timer, set the film advance mode selector to a position other than V.

•When buLb is selected in Manual exposure mode, shutter speed is controlled to approx. 1/8-1/15 sec.

c 16: The time delay of the self-timer can be set to 2, 5, or 20 sec. (page 75).
