20. SELF-TIMER PHOTOGRAPHY AND USE OF THE VIEWFINDER
CAP
The self-timer enables you to include yourself in your own photographs.
1. Mount the camera on a tripod or a flat, steady surface.
2. Compose your picture.
3. Raise the Self-Timer Switch to the upper position and depress the Shutter Release Button (Fig. 49).
4. The Self-Timer Indicator Light will pulsate with an electronic sound, and about 10 seconds later, the
shutter will be released (Fig. 50). Two seconds before the shutter releases, the light will pulsate faster to
indicate the 10 seconds are almost finished.
5. If you wish to cancel the self-timer once it has started operating, simply lower the Self-Timer Switch
to the normal position.
* When using the self-timer with the "P" or "A" settings or when shooting long-time exposure, use the
Viewfinder Cap attached to cover the Viewfinder Eyepiece. This procedure will prevent unwanted light
from entering the Viewfinder Eyepiece and causing incorrect exposure.
