Self-timer Operation
Do not stand in front of the camera when you press the shutter button to
start the self-timer. Doing so prevents the camera from focusing the subject.
Use a tripod when using the self-timer.
Before starting the self-timer, look through the viewfinder or cover it with
the eyepiece shutter (p.103).
To cancel the self-timer after it starts, set the power switch to <
2
>.
When using the self-timer to shoot only yourself, use focus lock (p.83) for
an object at about the same distance as where you will be.
The 2-second self-timer is effective for close-ups or photo duplicating
work to prevent camera shake (camera movement while the shutter
button is pressed).
