Self·Tlmer
Lever
(J)
This
device
is
useful when you want to include yourself
in
your pictures.
To
activate the self-timer, pull the self-
timer lever up as far
as
it will go. This can be done
either before or after the film
is
advanced. Now that
the
self-timer has been set, just depress the shutter
release button. Immediately the reflex mirror
® will
ri
se and the self-timer will start to operate; the shutter
then
fires approx. 10sec. later. If you want to cancel
the self-timer's operation after the lever has been set,
move
it
slowly back to its original position. Then you
can
take pictures
in
the normal way. However, once
you
have depressed the shutter button you cannot
cancel operation, because returning the self-timer-
lever to its original position will immediately trip the
shutter.
The self-timer can
be
used at any shutter speed/mode
selector dial setting except B.
•
When
using the self-timer with the camera
on
auto, be sure
to keep your eye
at
the viewfinder eyepiece @ or cover it
with the palm
of
your hand as
you
depress the shutter
re
-
lease button.
This
will prevent stray light from entering the
eyepiece and adversely affecting the automatic exposure
meter reading.
