PENTAX temomelampagegt....11ft, i • SELF-TIMER The self-timer delays shutter release between 5 and 13 seconds, depending upon how far counter-clockwise you have turned the cocking lever. When using the self-timer, do not depress the shutter release button . . . it will immediately release the shutter without delayed action. Turn the cocking lever down 90O-180°. Move the small light-colored self-timer start lever as indicated . . . the self-timer will start. This self-timer also has an interrupt function. Even after the self-timer has started to run, you can stop it by moving the start lever back to normal position, as long as the cocking lever has not been moved back past the 90° position. You can re-start the self-timer by pushing the cocking lever down again and moving the start lever again. Do not leave the cocking lever in "interrupt" position for an extended period, as this may weaken the spring. • 17
