Pentax SF1 - Self-Timer

SELF-TIMER
Take advantage of the self-timer when you wish to be in
your own photograph.
Set the self-timer by sliding the select switch to the UP
or DOWN position while holding the mode/drive switch at
the DRIVE position. The [0] mark on the CENTIC panel
will light up. After focusing on the subject, press the
shutter release button. This delays the shutter release for
approximately 12 seconds.
• If the main switch is set at the [•»)] position, self-timer
operation is indicated not only by the LED self-timer
indicator but also a PCV tone. For the final two seconds
before the shutter release, the indicator blinks and
the PCV tone changes to a short, intermittent beep.
• The exposure^frame/self-timer counter on the CENTIC
panel counts down the delay time from 12 seconds to
shutter release.
• To cancel the self-timer operation, turn the main
switch off.
• The self-timer cannot be used in combination with
the bulb setting.
Since your eye isn't covering the viewfinder when
you use the self-timer, light entering the eyepiece
can cause exposure errors (underexposing the sub¬
ject) in the AE modes. To prevent such errors, re¬
move the Hot Shoe Cover F from the hot shoe and
insert it inside the Eyecup F.
