SELF-TIMER NOTES
When the shutter-release button is pressed partway down, focus and exposure are locked for the picture; confirm focus lock with the viewfinder focus signal (p. 23). Do not stand directly in front of the camera when pressing the shutter-release button. To change the focus point, release the shutter button and then press it partway down again.
Press the shutter-release button all the way down to start the timer. The self-timer indicator on the data panel blinks and the flash fires four times before the shutter releases.
To cancel the self-timer countdown, change the position of the function dial. The self-timer drive mode is canceled after the picture is taken. Attach the eyepiece cap if a bright light source is behind the camera (p. 35).
CONTINUOUS-ADVANCE NOTES
The maximum frame rate with continuous advance is 1.7 frames per second with a shutter speed of 1/250 or faster, no flash, single-shot AF or manual focus, fresh batteries and no date imprinting. AF Zoom xi and Power Zoom lenses cannot be zoomed when taking pictures with continuous advance.
The frame rate is affected by the shutter speed and use of flash. The built-in flash must recharge between exposures. When using an accessory flash, the camera continues to take pictures regardless if the flash has charged.
