3. Turn the Self-Timer Lever (9) downwards in
an anticlockwise motion until no further
movement is possible. (As you move this Lever
on the camera you'll see an "M" sticker beneath it
which is there simply to remind you to set the
lens to the Manual position as previously
mentioned.)

4.Now press the Self-Timer Release Button (8) and move into the picture area as quickly as possible.
The Lever (9) will slowly return to its normal position releasing the shutter automatically during its
travel.
o Make sure the Self-Timer has been fully wound before pressing the Release Button (8) as
otherwise the shutter will not operate. (If this happens just move the Self-Timer Lever
downwards again -- fully this time! -- and press the Timer Release Button again.
o If you decide not to use the Self-Timer after moving the lever down, simply take your next
picture by pressing the Shutter Release Button (3)
as normal. Then before winding Film Transport Lever (2) press the Timer Release Button (8) and
the timer will return to normal position. NEVER leave the self-timer lever in the 'wound position
for extended periods.
o An extra tip: if the shutter speed is set at "B" and the self-timer mechanism is used you will
obtain a time exposure of between 1 and 5 seconds. The actual time of exposure will vary from
camera to camera, so we suggest you determine the time for your particular camera, as it may
well come in handy to know when taking pictures in dimly lit conditions.
o If required, the Self-Timer can also be used in conjunction with a flashgun observing of course
the previous notes on flash photography.
