Focusing and shooting functions

This function lets you take pictures using the self-timer. You can set the camera to release

the shutter after either 12 or 2 seconds. Fix the camera securely on a tripod for self-timer

shooting.

For the setting method, see “Sequential shooting” (gP. 57).

Press the shutter button all the way.

• When Y12s is selected:

First, the self-timer lamp lights up for approximately

10 seconds, then it blinks for approximately 2

seconds and the picture is taken.

• When Y2s is selected :

The self-timer lamp blinks for approximately 2

seconds, and then the picture is taken.

• To cancel the activated self-timer, press the j/Y/<

button.

x Notes

• Do not press the shutter button while standing in front of the camera; this could result in the

subject being out of focus since focusing is performed when the shutter button is pressed

halfway.

Eyepiece cover

When shooting without looking through the viewfinder, attach the eyepiece cover to the

viewfinder to prevent the light entering the viewfinder from changing the exposure. Attach the

eyepiece cover after removing the eyecup as illustrated. The same applies when replacing

with an optional eyecup.

By using the optional remote control (RM-1), you can take a picture with yourself in it or a

night scene without touching the camera.

The camera can be set to release the shutter either right away or 2 seconds after the shutter

button on the remote control is pressed. Bulb shooting is also possible when using the

optional remote control.

For the setting method, see “Sequential shooting” (gP. 57).
