This provides
an
approx. 10-sec. exposure delay.
Independent
of the shutter mechanism, the self-timer
can be set either before or after the film
is
advanced.
It
can be operated at all modes except the B setting.
Slide the lever away from the lens as far as
it
will go,
cover the viewfinder eyepiece to prevent stray
light
from entering through the viewfinder, then depress
the shutter
release button After use, return the lever
to its original position. The self-timer
is
cancellable
any time before shooting by returning the lever to its
original position.

The film plane indicator (
--e-
)
is
engraved
on
the top
deck just behind the audio warning
lever. It indicates
the exact position of the
film plane inside the
camera
and
is
used to measure the exact distance between
the subject and
film plane, such as
in
macrophotog-
raphy. The distance between the film plane and lens
mounting flange
is
exactly 46.5 mm.
