Background information: The exposure settings have to be set before pressing the
Release Button B1, as the camera-internal exposure measurement is not active as long as
the mirror is locked.
The Self-Timer is useful e.g. if the photographer would like to appear on the image, or if
any agitation of the camera has to be avoided. During the delay time, the vibration
caused by the mirror locking is absorbed.
From the menu "Shooting", select "Self-
Timer" using the Rear Control Wheel W2.
With the Front Control Wheel W1, set the
delay that occurs between the mirror lock-
up and the activation of the shutter. A delay
between 0,25 and 32 seconds can be set.
When the Release Button B1 is pressed, the
mirror is locked and the countdown until
the activation of the shutter is started.
