Self-Timer Mode

Delaying Shutter Release

The self-timer can be used to reduce camera shake or for self-portraits. To use the self-timer:

Mount the camera on a tripod (recommended) or place the camera on a
1 stable, level surface.
Press the	button and rotate main com-
2 mand dial	until	(self-timer mode) is

displayed in the control panel.

3 Frame the photograph and focus. If autofo- cus is in effect, be sure not to block the lens when activating the self-timer. In single-servo autofocus ( 139), photographs can only be taken if the in-focus (●) indicator appears in the viewfinder.

Cover the Viewfinder

To ensure correct exposure in modes other than M, cover the viewfinder eyepiece with your hand or with the supplied DK-5 eyepiece cap before pressing the shutter-release button. This will prevent light entering via the viewfinder from interfering with the autoexposure operation. The DK-5 can be attached by removing the viewfinder eyepiece cup and slid- ing the DK-5 down to cover the viewfinder eyepiece.
