After you press the shutter button, the shutter will be released either about ten seconds or two
seconds later. The 10-second self-timer is convenient when the photographer appears in a
photo and the 2-second self-timer is convenient to reduce the camera-shake because the mirror
is pulled up beforehand.

Check that the focus is confirmed on the subject, then press the shutter button.

• When using the 10-second self-timer, the self-timer lamp located on the front side flashes before the

shutter is released. The countdown sound also starts.

• To cancel the activated 10-second self-timer, press the DRIVE button. You cannot cancel the 2-second

self-timer in the middle.

• When there is bright lighting, a reflector or something similar behind the camera, and you press the shutter

button without looking into the viewfinder, use the eyepiece cover attached on the shoulder strap to
prevent unnecessary lighting from seeping through the viewfinder and affecting the exposure (page 44).

An accurate exposure setting is required for some shooting. In such cases, a photographer
continuously shoots some images with the exposure shifted, aside from the correct exposure
image.

Press and hold the shutter button until the recording stops.
