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. 59).
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 </ Y/j button.

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. 59).
• Shooting can also be done using an optional remote control cable (RM-UC1).
