Look through the viewfinder and
press the shutter button halfway
to focus.
• Check that the in-focus indicator and
exposure setting are displayed.
Press the shutter button
completely.
• The self-timer lamp will start blinking
to indicate that the self-timer has
started. The lamp blinks faster during
the last two seconds before the
picture is taken.
• To cancel the self-timer after it starts,
set the < © > switch to < OFF >.
When using the self-timer to photograph yourself only, first lock the focus
(->p.45) on an object at about the same distance where you will be.
The 2-second delay is effective for close-ups or photo duplicating work to
prevent camera shake (camera movement while the shutter button is pressed).
o Do not stand in front of the camera when you press the shutter button to start
the self-timer. Doing so will throw off the focus.
