Self-Timer
The built-in self-timer can be used to trip the shutter
after a delay of approximately 8—14 seconds. To take
a picture using the self-timer, first set the aperture and
shutter speed controls, advance the film, and cock the
self-timer by turning the self-timer lever downwards.
Then, depress the shutter release button and the timer
will start (note that the mirror will rise as the shutter
button is depressed and return at the end of the cycle).
A unique feature of the FE’s self-timer lever is that its
setting is “cancellable.’’ In other words, should you
decide not to use the self-timer after setting it, you
simply turn It back upwards and push It towards the lens
mount. Then you can resume normal shutter tripping
operation. The self-timer works at all shutter speed set
tings, except “B.” For critical close-up photography, the
self-timer, in combination with a tripod, is particularly
useful in preventing vibration.
Note: When using the self-timer with the camera on automatic,
cover the eyepiece with your hand only at the instant you
release the shutter; this will prevent light from entering into the
eyepiece and adversely affecting exposure measurement.
