qUsing the Self-timer

You can use self-timer in any Basic Zone mode or Creative Zone mode. We recommend using a tripod when you use the self-timer.

1 Set the film advance mode lever to <p>.

sThe <K> icon will be displayed on the LCD panel.

2Take the picture.

• The picture-taking procedure is the

same as with the <Y> Full Auto

mode on page 28.

• Look through the viewfinder and press the shutter button fully to start the self-timer.

sThe picture will be taken about 10 sec. later.

During the first 8 seconds, the beeper beeps slowly and the red-eye reduction lamp flashes.

During the final 2 seconds, the beeper beeps faster and the red-eye reduction lamp stays lit.

sDuring the self-timer operation, the LCD panel counts down the seconds until the picture is taken.

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.

• To cancel the self-timer after it starts, set the film advance mode lever to <J> (single-frame shooting) or <H>.

•When using the self-timer to take a picture of only yourself, first lock the focus (p.50) on an object at the same distance where you will be in the picture.

•The self-timer beeper can be silenced. (p.74)
