Using the shooting function Using the self-timer After you press the shutter button, the shutter will be released about ten seconds. When the self-timer is activated, audio signals and the selftimer lamp indicate the condition. The self-timer lamp flashes quickly and the audio signal sounds quickly right before the shooting. After you press the shutter button, the shutter will be released about two seconds. This is convenient to reduce the camera shake because the mirror moves upward before shooting. To cancel the 10-second self-timer Press the DRIVE button. Notes • When you press the shutter button without looking into the viewfinder, close the eyepiece shutter with the eyepiece shutter lever. • When the 2-second self-timer is selected, the following shooting features cannot be used: high speed sync shooting, WL high speed sync, and mirror lockup shooting. Shooting with Exposure bracket Bracket shooting allows you to shoot several images, each with different degrees of exposure. This camera is equipped with an auto bracket function. Specify the value of deviation (steps) from the base exposure, and the camera shoots while automatically shifting the exposure. You can choose an image that has the brightness you like after shooting is finished. The base exposure is set at the first shot in the bracket. Base exposure - direction + direction 83
