Press the <o> button.

(9)

Select either <k> or <l>.

Look at the top LCD panel and turn the <5> dial to select <k> or <l>.

k: 10-sec. self-timer

l: 2-sec. self-timer

Take the picture.

Look through the viewfinder, focus the subject, then press the shutter button completely.

XThe self-timer lamp will blink, and 10 sec. or 2 sec. later, the picture will be taken.

XThe top LCD panel counts down the seconds until the picture is taken.

XThe lamp’s blinking will become faster two seconds before the picture is taken.

If you will not look through the viewfinder when you press the shutter button, close the eyepiece shutter before shooting (p.117). If stray light enters the viewfinder when the picture is taken, it may throw off the exposure.

Do not stand in front of the camera when you press the shutter button to start the self-timer. Doing so prevents the camera from focusing the subject.

Use a tripod when using the self-timer.

The <l> 2-sec. self-timer 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.

To cancel the self-timer after it starts, set the power switch to <2>. When using the self-timer for self-portraits, use focus lock for an object at about the same distance as where you will be (p.95).

After taking self-timer shots, you should check the image for proper focus and exposure (p.156).
