setting other than "B," move the main
switch to align the index with "SELF -
TIMER ."

the operating button. The blinking
light on the front of the camera will indicate
the delay has been started. Approximately
2.5 sec . before the exposure is made, the
indicator will blink faster to signal the end
of the delay . You may cancel the self-timer
by mov ing the main switch to "OFF."

setting.
• In automatic mode, the self-timer will
cancel if exposure conditions exceed the
upper range of the metering system. Opera-
tion will . resume when aperture or other
