Self-timer Photography

■This mode is useful for shots such as commemorative pictures where the photographer also wants to be in the shot. Use a tripod or otherwise ensure that the camera is stable before using the self-timer.

1	Press the self-timer button “!”. The “!” icon appears
	on the top display panel.

• The self-timer will not operate if the camera shutter cannot release, such as when the camera cannot focus using AF (auto focus).

• If you are not using the M (manual) exposure mode to take the shot,

	cover the eyepiece with your hand or with the eyepiece cap provided
	(☞ P.73) before you press the shutter button to prevent interference to
	achieve correct exposure from strey light.
	• If you are using AF (auto focus) to focus the camera, take care not to
	stand in front of the lens when you operate the self-timer.
2	Compose the shot, focus and then press the shutter
	button.

•When the self-timer setting is “10 sec.”, the!“” icon flashes for 10 seconds on the top display panel when the self-timer starts running. The self-timer lamp flashes for 8 seconds and then remains lit for the last 2 seconds before the shutter releases. If you have selected red-eye reduction mode (☞ P.75), the self-timer lamp lights for the last 2 seconds at the brightness used for red-eye reduction mode shooting.

•To cancel self-timer mode, press the self-timer button “!” again either before or during self-timer operation, or switch the camera off. You can also cancel self-timer mode by performing a camera reset (☞ P.56).
