Pentax SF10 - Using Self-Timer

USING SELF-TIMER
The self-timer delays shutter release and is useful in
taking commemorative pictures that include the
photographer.
1. Turn the select dial O while depressing the drive
button O until the self-timer mark [0} appears in
the LCD panel.
2. While focusing on the subject, press the shutter
release button all the way down, and the shutter
will be released after approximately 12 seconds.
3k If the main switch is set at the [ ■ > !)) position,
the self-timer operation is confirmed by a self-timer
lamp and an electronic tone. During the last two
seconds before shutter release, the lamp blinks and
the electronic tone beeps faster.
% If you wish to Interrupt the self-timer operation after
it is activated, turn the main switch off. Also, if you
turn the main switch on, the self-timer operation is
canceled, and the drive mode is switched for single
film-advance photography. (It can also be canceled by
switciiing the drive mode to [ ■ ] or [^].)
When shooting in the AE mode with your eye away from
the viewfinder eyepiece, such as in self-timer photography,
light entering the eyepiece can cause incorrect exposure
reading, resulting in underexposure. Therefore, use the
viewfinder cap when taking a self-timer photograph.
