Self-Timer Operation The self-timer allows you to put yourself in the picture, or if you want to avoid touching the camera to avoid shake just before exposure. Use a tripod or place the camera on a stable surface before using the self-timer. 1 While pressing the film advance mode selector lock release, set the film advance mode selector to V. 2 Compose picture, focus and fully depress the shutter release button. • Do not stand in front of the lens when setting the self-timer in autofocus mode. • Once the self-timer is activated, the shutter will release in 10 seconds (default setting). The self-timer indicator LED will blink for 8 sec., then stop blinking 2 sec. before the shutter is released. • Self-timer shooting cannot be performed when the camera's shutter cannot be released (i.e. when subject cannot be brought into focus with autofocus in Single Servo AF). • To cancel the self-timer, set the film advance mode selector to a position other than V. • When buLb is selected in Manual exposure mode, shutter speed is controlled to approx. 1/10 sec. Close the viewfinder eyepiece shutter To ensure correct exposure in exposure modes other than manual, close the viewfinder eyepiece shutter after focusing. This will prevent light entering via the viewfinder from interfering with the autoexposure operation. CSM c5: The time delay of the self-timer can also be set to 2, 5, or 20 sec. (x 100). 82
