is pressed or just before the exposure is made. The camera can be set so that the mirror goes
down or stays up after the exposure.
The programming procedure is as follows (see Figure 4-14):
1. Click the Menu button, and turn the front control wheel until SELF-TIMER appears on the dis-
play. Click the ISO/WB (Drive) button, and use the front wheel to select the left icon and the
seconds fi gure. Turn the rear wheel to the desired delay in seconds.
2. Turn the front wheel to select the middle icon, and you will see DELAY MIRROR UP or MIRROR
UP DELAY. Turn the rear wheel to the desired mode, and press the ISO/WB (Drive) button to lock
it. In MIRROR UP DELAY, the mirror lifts up the moment the release is pressed, which is the best
assurance for eliminating the possibility of camera vibration. If you like to see the image as long
as possible, set it to DELAY MIRROR UP. The mirror lifts up just before the exposure is made.
3. Turn the front wheel to the right icon and either MIRROR GOES DOWN or MIRROR REMAINS
UP. Select the desired mode by turning the rear wheel, and lock it by clicking the ISO/WB
(Drive) button. In MIRROR GOES DOWN the mirror returns to the viewing position after each
exposure. When set to MIRROR REMAINS UP, it stays up for subsequent self-timer operation.
Click the MUP (Mirror Up) button (item 24, Figure 4-1) to bring the mirror down.
4. When the self-timer is programmed, press the AF (ON) button to activate the self-timer function.
When you press the release, the exposure is made with the self-timer at the set delay. Pressing
the button again will deactivate the self-timer, which is indicated at the bottom of the screen.
The self-timer can also be activated by double-clicking (within one second) the MUP button or
by programming the User button to activate the self-timer. The self-timer is deactivated after use
unless it is programmed to remain in the camera, as described in the section Custom Options. To
stop a self-timer sequence in progress, click the Esc (ON/OFF) button.
Figure 4-14 shows a sample program for a self-timer operation, and Figure 4-15 shows the mir-
ror controls.

to go down after the exposure (right).
Interval Exposures
The H camera also allows you to take sequences of pictures automatically at preset intervals
from 1 second to 24 hours (time-lapse still photography). Follow these steps (see Figure 4-16):
1. With the camera set on a sturdy tripod, press the Menu button and turn the front control wheel
to INTERVAL. Now press the ISO/WB (Drive) button, and turn the front wheel to the number of
exposures. Set the desired number by turning the rear wheel.
