Self-timer Operation
The self-timer can be used in any picture-taking mode. Using a tripod is
recommended.

standing in front of the camera, the
focus may be incorrect.
■ To cancel the self-timer, press the
self-timer button again.
■ When using the self-timer to take a
picture of only yourself, first lock the
focus (see page 30) on an object
near where you will be in the picture.
Press the self-timer button.
• The symbol will be displayed on the
LCD panel.
* To cancel the self-timer, press the self-
timer button again or turn the Command
Dial to H.
Press the shutter button halfway to
focus, and check the shutter speed
and aperture setting.
While still looking through the
viewfinder, press the shutter button
completely to start the self-timer.
The beeper will sound and the
shutter will be released after 10
sec.
The beeper beeps slowly (twice/sec.) during
the first 8 seconds and faster (8 times/sec.)
during the final two seconds before the
shutter is released.

counts down in seconds.
