Self-Timer
The built-in self-timer provides an approximately 8 to 14
second delay between the time the shutter release button is
depressed and the time the shutter is actually fired. It can be
used with any of the marked shutter speeds between 1/1000
and 1 sec. Avoid using the selftimer with the shutter speed
dial set to “B” as, on this setting, the shutter will only open
momentarily and incorrect exposure will invariably result.
To take a picture using the self-timer, first set the aperture
and shutter speed controls, advance the film, and cock the
self-timer by turning the self-timer lever downwards. Then,
depress the shutter release button and the timer wiLl start. A
unique feature of the FM’s self-timer lever is that its setting is
“cancellable.” In other words, should you decide not to use
the self-timer after setting it, you simply turn it back upwards
and resume normal shutter tripping operation. For critical
close-up photography, the self-timer, in combination with a
tripod, is particularly useful in preventing vibration.
