Do not stand in front of the camera when you press the shutter button to start the
self-timer. Doing so will throw off the focus.
When using the self-timer to photograph yourself only, first lock the focus (→p.61)
on an object at about the same distance where you will be.
The 2-second delay is effective for close-ups or photo duplicating work to prevent
camera shake (camera movement while the shutter button is pressed).
Using the Eyepiece Shutter
If you take a picture without looking through the viewfinder, stray light may enter the eyepiece
and affect the exposure. To prevent this, use the built-in eyepiece shutter before taking the
picture.
Self-timer Operation / Using the Eyepiece Shutter
