indicator when actually measuring camera-to-subject distance, e.g. in close-
up photography.
•The exact distance from the lens mounting flange to the film plane is 46.5mm.
Self-Timer Operation
•You can use the self-timer when you want to be in the photograph. Use
a tripod or place the camera on a stable surface before using the self-
timer.
• Self-timer shooting cannot be performed unless the camera's shutter can
be released (i.e. when subject cannot be brought into focus with autofocus
in Single Servo AF).
• To shoot in an exposure mode other than Manual, cover the eyepiece with
the supplied eyepiece cap DK-5 (page 3) or with your hand before pressing
the shutter release button to prevent interference and achieve correct
exposure from stray light.
• Do not stand in front of the lens when setting the self-timer in autofocus
mode.
2 Compose picture, focus by lightly pressing the shutter
release button and fully depress the shutter release
button.
• Once the self-timer is activated, the shutter will release in 10 seconds. The
