Using the Self-timer
The <
k
> enables you to shoot while not touching the camera
mounted on a tripod. This prevents camera vibration blur when you shoot
still lifes or long exposures.
After taking self-timer shots, playing back the image (p.394) to check
focus and exposure is recommended.
When using the self-timer to shoot yourself, use focus lock (p.97) on an
object at the same distance as where you will stand.
To cancel the self-timer, press the <
o
> button.
If you do not look through the viewfinder when you press the shutter button,
attach the eyepiece cover (p.278). If stray light enters the viewfinder when
the picture is taken, it may throw off the exposure.
