Using self-timer
The self-timer trips the shutter at any time delay trom 3 to 10 seconds. It has
white indicator dots for 3-, 6- and ]O-second delay and can be set either before
or after the shutter is wound. To set the self-timer, turn the lever on the front of
the camera body downward for the desired delay. The timer is actuated by its
own release button, located beneath the end of the lever in its uncocked
position. The lever can be turned back after setting the timer, to cover the
release button and prevent accidental triggering. lf you decide not to use the
self-timer after it has already been
cocked, use the shutter release button to
make the exposure. Then shut off the
self-timer before advancing the film for
the next exposure by pressing the release
button. This way you can avoid wasted
exposures.
It is also helpful for minimizing camera
shake at slow shutter speeds with the
camera hand-held or tripod-mounted.
