April 28, 2004 5-25
Self Timer Use the Self Timer to include yourself in the picture or to avoid camera
shake. Use a tripod or place the camera on a stable surface before using
the Self Timer.
When you set the Self Timer to 10s, the shutter will be released 10 seconds
after you fully press the Shutter button.
When you set the Self Timer to 2s, then the shutter will be released 2
seconds after you fully press the Shutter button.
After you compose the picture, lightly press the Shutter button and adjust
the focus. When you fully press the Shutter button, the viewfinder display
disappears and the Self Timer is activated. During the Self Timer
countdown, you hear an electronic beeping sound which speeds up during
the last two seconds. The Top Status LCD displays a countdown of the
remaining time.
1. Rotate the D-Dial to either 2s or 10s.
2. If you are using an Exposure mode other than Manual, cover the
eyepiece with the supplied viewfinder cap (see page 2-23) or with
your hand before pressing the Shutter button. This helps achieve
correct exposure by preventing interference from stray light.
3. Compose the picture, focus by lightly pressing the Shutter button, then
fully press the Shutter button.
NOTE: Once the Self Timer is activated, the shutter releases in two or ten
seconds. The electronic sound operates during Self Timer
operation, even if you set the Electronic Sound option to OFF.
To Cancel the Self Timer • Rotate the D-Dial to another position.
