Self-Timer Operation

You can use the self-timer when you want to be in the photograph.

1 Press v (self-timer) button and confirm that V appears on the LCD panel.

(Or, rotate the Command Dial while pressing the v button until V appears on the LCD panel.)

The display changes as follows:

	No display
	(cancel)
Two-sec. delay	Immediate
release for	release for
remote control	remote control

Check points

•Use a tripod or place the camera on a stable surface before using the self- timer.

•To shoot in an exposure mode other than Manual, cover the eyepiece with the supplied eyepiece cap DK-5 (page 3) or with your hand before pressing the shutter release button to prevent interference from stray light and achieve correct exposure.

•Do not stand in front of the lens when setting the self-timer in autofocus mode.

2 Compose picture, focus by lightly pressing the shutter release button and fully depress the shutter release button.

• Self-timer shooting cannot be performed unless the camera’s shutter can be released (i.e. when subject cannot be brought into focus with autofocus).

•Once the self-timer is activated, the shutter will release in 10 seconds. The self-timer lamp will blink

for 8 sec. and then illuminate for 2 sec. before the shutter is released. When Red-Eye Reduction (page

79)is set, self-timer activates and the self- timer/red-eye reduction lamp lights for 1 sec. before the shutter releases at the same output level as the normal Red-Eye Reduction function.

•To cancel the self-timer, either turn the power switch off, press the v button until V and B

(remote control) disappear in the LCD panel, or rotate the Command Dial while pressing the v button until V and B disappear in the LCD panel.

•To cancel the self-timer during self-timer operation, turn the power switch off or press the v button again.
