Self-timer Operation

The self-timer can be set to either a 2-second or 10-second delay. When using the self-timer, you should mount the camera on a tripod.

1	While pressing the <		>
	button and < > button, turn the
	<	> dial and set the desired

self-timer delay time.

: 10-second delay

:

2-second delay

2Look through the viewfinder and press the shutter button halfway to focus.

•Check that the in-focus indicator and exposure setting are displayed.

3Press the shutter button completely.

• The self-timer lamp will start blinking to indicate that the self-timer has started. The lamp blinks faster during the last two seconds before the picture is taken.

• To cancel the self-timer after it starts,

set the < > switch to < >.

When using the self-timer to photograph yourself only, first lock the focus (→p.45) on an object at about the same distance where you will be.

The 2-second delay is effective for close-ups or photo duplicating work to prevent camera shake (camera movement while the shutter button is pressed).

Do not stand in front of the camera when you press the shutter button to start the self-timer. Doing so will throw off the focus.
