jUsing the Self-timer

If you will not look through the viewfinder when you press the shutter button, attach the eyepiece cover (p.185). If stray light enters the viewfinder when the picture is taken, it may throw off the exposure.

The <k> enables you to shoot while not touching the camera mounted on a tripod. This prevents camera shake while you shoot still lifes or bulb exposures.

After taking self-timer shots, playing back the image (p.244) to check focus and exposure is recommended.

When using the self-timer to shoot only yourself, use focus lock (p.67) on an object at about the same distance as where you will stand.

To cancel the self-timer after it starts, press the <o> button.
