@
When it is impossible to keep your eye at the viewfinder (such
as
when utilizing the self-timer),
you
should use the eyepiece
shutter. This shutter prevents stray light from entering the eye-
piece and adversely affecting the automatic exposure meter
reading and autofocus function. Just push the lever to the left
to close the shutler.
As
a visual reminder that it
is
in
use, the
blind
is
painted red.

the eyepiece.)
Then
push the shutter release button.@ (Fig. 2).
Immediately the
red
LED
@I
on
the front of the camera will start
blinking and then speed

to get ready (Fig.

re-
turn the self-timer lever to its original position after
use
