SELF-TIMER
The electronic self-timer built into your
XG-A can be used to delay release of the
shutter for about 10 seconds after actuation.
To operate it:
1. Advance
the film, compose your picture,
and focus.
2. With
the shutter- function selector at a
setting
other than "B," move the main
switch
to align the index with "SELF-
TIMER."
3 . Depress the operating button. The blinking
I ight on
the front of the camera will indicate
the delay has been started. Approximately
2.5 sec. before the exposure is made, the
LED indicator will speed up to signal the
end of the delay. You may cancel the
self-timer by moving the main switch to
"OFF ."
NOTE
•
After using the self-timer be sure to move
the main switch off the "SELF-TIMER"
setting.
•
In automatic mode, the self-timer will can-
cel if
exposure conditions exceed the upper
range
of the metering system. Operation will
resume when
aperture or other conditions
are adjusted so
that exposure conditions are
within metering range.
