HOW TO USE
THE SELF-TIMER
This feature has two important uses.
Primarily it allows the person taking
the picture to appear in it himself. The
built in self-timer op e rates when the
synchro pointer or lever is set at V. It
can be moved to or from "V" at any
time, before or after the shutter is
cocked. When the body release lever is
pressed , there will be a delay of about ten seconds before the shutter trips. The lever
can be moved from "V" at any time before or after the shutter has been cocked.
Another important application of the self-timer is in the use of slow shutter speeds
when no tripod is handy and the camera cannot be satisfactorily hand held. Set the
shutter as desired, set the self-timer lever at "V" and press the body release. The
ten seconds elapsing before the shutter trips can be used to brace the camera with
both hands against some nearby solid object .
If the synchronizer lever has been accidentally set at " V," it can be moved to
either "X" or "M" at any time, either before or after the shutter has been cocked.
The shutter can be set and cocked in any sequence you choose . It does not matter
whether you set the synchro lever before or after cocking.
FLASH SYNCHRONIZATION
When the pointer is set at "V," flash synchronization produced is the same as
that for the "X" setting . See page 22.
