Check points

timer.
•To shoot in an exposure mode other than Manual, cover the eyepiece with the
supplied eyepiece cap DK-5 (page 3) or with your hand before pressing the
shutter release button to prevent interference from stray light and achieve
correct exposure.

pressing the shutter release button and
fully depress the shutter release button.
•Self-timer shooting cannot be performed unless the
camera’s shutter can be released (i.e. when subject
cannot be brought into focus with autofocus).
•Once the self-timer is activated, the shutter will
release in 10 seconds. The self-timer lamp will blink
for 8 sec. and then illuminate for 2 sec. before the
shutter is released. When Red-Eye Reduction (page
79) is set, self-timer activates and the self-
timer/red-eye reduction lamp lights for 1 sec.
before the shutter releases at the same output level
as the normal Red-Eye Reduction function.
•To cancel the self-timer, either turn the power
switch off, press the v button until V and B
(remote control) disappear in the LCD panel, or
rotate the Command Dial while pressing the v
button until V and B disappear in the LCD panel.
•To cancel the self-timer during self-timer operation,
