j Using the Self-timer
With <q>, the interval between shots may be prolonged depending on
the shooting conditions such as the image-recording quality or flash.
If you do not look through the viewfinder when you press the shutter
button, attach the eyepiece cover (p.269). If stray light enters the
viewfinder when the picture is taken, it may throw off the exposure.
After taking self-timer shots, playing back the image (p.80) to check
focus and exposure is recommended.
When using the self-timer to shoot only yourself, use focus lock (p.59) on
an object at about the same distance as where you will stand.
To cancel the self-timer after it starts, press the <Yij> button.
