SELF TIMER
When you want to include yourself in the picture or avoid camera shake,
please use the self-timer.
When you set the self-timer to 10s, then the shutter will be released 10seconds
after you fully press the shutter button.
When you set the self-timer to 2s, then the shutter will be released 2seconds
after you fully press the shutter button.
After you decide the composition of your picture, press the shutter
button ”Half-way” and adjust the focusing. Then, when you press the shutter
button the rest of the way, the display in the viewfinder will disappear and the self
–timer will be activated. During the self-timer operation you will hear an electronic
beeping sound. The beeping sound will be much faster during the last two
seconds, before the shutter is released. The LCD panel will also countdown the
remaining time.
You will hear the electronic sound during “Self-timer” operation, even if you set
the electronic sound option to OFF.
If you want to cancel the “Self-timer” operation, turn the “D”-dial to another
position.
When you start the “Self-timer” and do not look through the viewfinder, attach
the finder cap to the viewfinder eyepiece to prevent light entering (P. 18 ).
MIRROR LOCK-UP
If you want to reduce the camera’s vibration such as during Macro
Photography or when using long telephoto lenses, use the Mirror Lock-up
function.
Set the “D”-Dial to the “UP” position. When you press the
shutter button “Half-way” the camera will set the focus and
exposure. As you press the shutter button further, the mirror
will move up and the exposure value will be memorized.
(
will be displayed alternately with exposure display.)
Remove your finger from the shutter button and lightly press
again to release the shutter.
Mirror lock-up function can be cancelled manually by turning the “D”-dial away
from the “up” position.
