Using the Eyepiece Shutter
To prevent metering errors caused by light entering the eyepiece when pressing the Shutter
button with your eye away from the viewfinder, close the eyepiece shutter before pressing
the Shutter button. Recommended when using the self-timer or making long time
exposures.
4 Press the Shutter button
completely. The Self-timer lamp
blinks to indicate that the Self-
timer function is operating. The
lamp starts blinking faster two
seconds before the picture is
taken.
To cancel the self-timer in mid-
operation, set the Main switch to
().
IMPORTANT:
Be careful to not stand in front of the lens when pressing the Shutter button, as this will
cause the camera to misfocus.
Push the Eyepiece Shutter lever to
the right to close the eyepiece
shutter. Push the lever in the
opposite direction to open.
