Using the Self Timer

Use the Self Timer when you want to be in a photograph. Use a tripod or
place the camera on a stable surface before using the Self Timer. The Self
Timer allows you 10 seconds to move into position.
If you are using autofocus (see

page 8-1

), do not stand in front of the lens

when setting the Self Timer.

1. Press and hold the Drive Mode Selector Lock release and set the Drive

Mode selector to

.

NOTE: The Self Timer will not work if the shutter cannot be released, for

example, if the subject cannot be brought into focus in Single
Servo AF (see

page 8-1

).

If you are using an Exposure mode (see

page 7-10

) other than

Manual, cover the eyepiece with the supplied eyepiece cap or with
your hand before pressing the Shutter Release button. This helps
achieve correct exposure by preventing interference from stray light.

2. Compose the picture, focus by lightly pressing the Shutter Release

button, then fully press the Shutter Release button.

Once the Self Timer is activated, the shutter will release in ten
seconds. The Self Timer indicator LED blinks for eight seconds, then
illuminates for two seconds before the shutter is released.

When buLb is selected in Manual Exposure mode, shutter speed is
approximately 1/8 - 1/15 second.
