ADVANCED OPERATIONS
Self-Timer Mode
The self-timer mode delays the shutter release, and
is useful for taking group shots that include the pho-
tographer. The shutter will be released about 12
seconds after the shutter release is pressed.
1. Set the drive mode selector to [ ].
2. Focus on the subject first using the autofocus
frame and by pressing the shutter release
button halfway down. Then press the shutter
release button fully.
• The shutter will be released about 12 seconds
later.
• When the self-timer is in operation, the audible
PCV signal is heard and the rate increases for the
last two seconds.
• To cancel the self-timer operation after it has been
activated, move the drive mode selector to a posi-
tion other than [ ] or set the main switch to the
OFF position.
• The self-timer delay time can be set to 12 sec. or
2 sec. (with mirror lock-up) with Pentax Function
No. F4.
