AE mode, it will not set the exposure until
a split second before the shutter itself is ac-
tually released. Once you have completed
these preparations, flick the eyepiece shutter
lever to close the eyepiece shutter so that no
light comes through the eyepiece to affect
the exposure. Now press the shutter button
and run into place if your purpose is to in-
clude yourself in the picture. The shutter
will be released automatically following the
time interval you have set.
The moment you press the shutter button,
the self-timer lamp starts to flash at the rate
of two flashes per second. At two seconds
before shutter release, it starts to flash eight
times per second to warn you of impending
shutter release.
If you wish to cancel the self-timer before
shutter release, either switch the main
switch to the “L” position or press the
battery check button.
You may repeat the self-timer process as
many times as you wish. After completing
self-timer photography, return the main
switch to either “A” or “L”.
Please note that the eyepiece shutter should
be closed whenever exposure is to be deter-
mined when your eye is not to the eyepiece.
This is applicable to self-timer photography,
remote control photography and often to
tripod or copy stand photography and is
especially important in night photography.
