SHOOTING MODES

12.3 Self-Timer

With the Self-Timer, a delay occurs between locking the mirror and releasing the shutter. This function is available from the menu.

To select the Self-Timer, set the Shooting Mode Selector Switch S1 to “Options / Remote Control” and press the Button B6. The menu “Shooting” is opened.

From the menu “Shooting”, select “Self-

Timer” using the Rear Control Wheel W2.

With the Front Control Wheel W1, set the delay that occurs between the mirror lock- up and the activation of the shutter. A delay between 0,25 and 32 seconds can be set.

Set the desired exposure, then activate the shutter by pressing the Release Button B1. The process can be cancelled by repeatedly pressing the Release Button B1.

When the Release Button B1 is pressed, the mirror is locked and the countdown until the activation of the shutter is started.

Background information: The exposure settings have to be set before pressing the Release Button B1, as the camera-internal exposure measurement is not active as long as the mirror is locked.

The Self-Timer is useful e.g. if the photographer would like to appear on the image, or if any agitation of the camera has to be avoided. During the delay time, the vibration caused by the mirror locking is absorbed.
