There are a number of more advanced features that while not necessarily used every day still remain
immediately accessible through the menu system. They provide the integral finesses that make the
H2 a powerful and sophisticated tool to satisfy a variety of professional demands.
There are four main functions:
1. Self timer
2. Bracketing
3. Interval timer
4. Settings
An important point to remember is that certain options are only available when the relevant screen
has been accessed. For example, in Self Timer the choice of ‘delay/mirror up’ or ‘mirror up/ delay’ is
only available (by turning the rear control wheel - lower row on display) when the relevant function
has been chosen (by turning the front control wheel - upper row on display)
1 Self timer
e self timer allows a delay in the activation of the shutter and a change in sequence of
the mirror movement. Normally the mirror is raised before the shutter is tripped creat-
ing a pause between the two actions to minimize camera vibration. However, during
this pause there will be no image in the viewfinder and no light metering available for
any eventual exposure change. erefore the Self timer function can be set to a sequence
where the delay is followed by the mirror being raised instead. Normally the mirror will
instantly return aer an exposure but you can also choose a setting where the mirror
remains raised. e Self Timer can be set to provide virtually vibration-free shutter release.
It can be used instead of a remote release cable/cord/device when split-second timing is
not critical. e camera’s exposure settings (Manual or Auto) will be according to the
light metering requirements just prior to the mirror being raised so choose your method
accordingly with long delays in very changeable lighting conditions.
