Self-Timer Photography
Tips
The self-timer is useful when you want to include yourself in a group shot or to
prevent camera shake.
...
The maximum count-down time of the self-timer is approx. 10 seconds.
1
Pull the self-timer lever in the
direction of the arrow.
2
Check the focus and exposure,
then shoot.
...
The shutter is released with a delay of approx.
10 seconds.
...
The countdown time of the self-timer can be
set from 4 to 10 seconds, according to how
far you cock the self-timer lever.
•You can cancel self-timer operation after you set it. To cancel, pull the lever back
toward the lens completely until it stops before you press the shutter-release but-
ton. (If you pull the self-timer lever back when it is already in operation, the shutter
is released the moment the lever reaches its original position.)
• When you shoot without looking through the viewfinder in Aperture-Priority Auto
Exposure mode, cover the eyepiece to prevent interference from stray light when
you press the shutter-release button.
