Self Timer Mode
With this function, under the default setting the shutter is released 10 seconds after the shutter release button is pressed. The self timer lamp flashes slowly for the first 7 sec- onds, then flashes quickly for the last 3 seconds before the shutter is released. Use this function to take group photos or to photograph yourself.
1.Fix the camera to a tripod.
2.Press the mode setting button “A” three times to set the self timer mode.
3.The number of seconds before the shutter is released can be changed by turning the front or rear dial. The number of seconds can be set be- tween 3 and 60, in steps of 1 second from 3 to 10 seconds, in steps of 10 seconds from 10 to 60.
The setting is registered after 5 seconds or when the shutter release button is pressed.
4.Looking through the viewfinder, determine the composition, check that the focus is set properly, then press the shutter release button. The shutter is released after the set number of seconds.
*To cancel the self timer mode after pressing the shutter release button, either press the mode setting button “A” or turn the exposure mode setting dial. Chang- ing the exposure mode does not change the set self timer operating time.
*If there is a bright light source behind the camera or if the shutter release button is pressed without looking through the viewfinder, light enters the viewfinder's eyepiece, affecting exposure metering. Turn the eyepiece shutter open/close dial to close the eyepiece shutter.
*When the shutter release mode is set to "C" (continuous advance mode), the self timer mode can be used to take photos at intervals of 3 to 60 seconds while the shutter release button is pressed.
*To cancel the self timer mode, press the mode setting button “A” once. The self timer mode is canceled and the camera is reset to the normal shooting mode. *When the shutter release mode selector lever is set to "L" (power off), all the settings aside from the selected mode are reset to the default values.
