may not function if the receiver is too brightly lit.

The camera will take a picture about two seconds
later. The self-timer lamp will blink for the fi rst sec-
ond and then remain lit until the shutter is released.
Self-timer mode remains in effect after the shutter
is released, allowing additional pictures to be taken
using the remote.
The Self-Timer
When the self-timer is turned on, BSS turns off automatically ( 91). If an option
other than Intvl timer shooting is selected for Continuous ( 88), Continuous will
automatically be reset to Single. The self-timer is not available in movie mode ( 59),
or when
