ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS
SELF-TIMER
The self timer allows you to take a picture with a delay of either 2 or 12s. This
is particularly useful for group photographs, where you want to appear in the
picture yourself or if you want to avoid the picture being out of focus due to
camera shake when releasing the shutter. In such cases, we recommend that
you mount the camera on a tripod.
Setting
1. Press the left
direction button (1.27).
• The respective indication appears (2.2.11).
2. In the appearing menu, select the desired delay time. This can be done
alternatively with the setting ring (1.22), the up and down direction buttons
(1.23/1.26), or by repeatedly pressing the left direction button again.
• The indication (2.2.11) changes accordingly.
3. Confirm the setting by pressing either the shutter release button (1.8) or the
MENU/SET
button (1.25).
Operation
Press the shutter release button (1.8, see p. 127) all the way down to take the
photograph.
• Progress is indicated by ashing of the self-timer LED (1.2)
- with 12s delay, rst of all slowly (at 1Hz) and more quickly (at 2Hz) in the
last 2s,
- with 2s delay as described above for the last 2s.
On the monitor, a message counts down the remaining time (2.1.11).
Notes:
• A running delay time can be restarted at any time by pressing the shutter
release button again.
• Cancelling a running delay time is possible only with the main switch, either
by selecting another mode, or by turning the camera off.
• When the self-timer is activated, only single pictures are possible, i.e. ex-
posure series (see p. 104) and automatic exposure bracketing (see p. 132)
cannot be combined with self-timer mode.
