SELF-TIMER The self-timer is helpful for getting yourself into the photograph. It can be set by sliding the main switch forward until the "S.T." is visible, while depressing the self-timer lever. As you cock the film wind lever and press the shutter release button, the shutter will be released about 12 seconds later. The self-timer lamp blinks to show the self-timer is working. About two seconds before shutter release, the lamp will start to blink at a faster rate. The self-timer can be cancelled even after it has started, by sliding the main switch back to the original position. • When you shoot at the B (Bulb) setting, the self-timer cannot be used. Caution: When using the self-timer, you keep your eye away from the viewfinder, and light entering through the eyepiece can cause errors in exposure. This can be prevented by sliding an accessory viewfinder cap over the eyepiece, to shield the metering system from extraneous light. p3+ 31 •
