The 2-second delay is effective for close-ups or photo duplicating work to prevent
camera shake (camera movement while the shutter button is pressed).
Do not stand in front of the camera when you press the shutter button to start the
self-timer. Doing so will throw off the focus.
When using the self-timer to photograph yourself only, first lock the focus (

on an object at about the same distance where you will be.
If you take a picture without looking through the viewfinder, stray light may enter the eyepiece
and affect the exposure. To prevent this, use the built-in eyepiece shutter before taking the
picture.
To cover the eyepiece with the eyepiece shutter, turn
the lever as shown by the arrow.
To open the eyepiece shutter, turn the lever in the
opposite direction.
