Additional Functions

Selecting the exposure frequency

When the main switch (1.7, see p. 88) is set to
continuous picture sequences. Frequencies of either 2 fps (Low) or 3 fps
(High) are available.
In the menu, select Continuous (3.5), and in the submenu the desired set-
ting.
Notes:
• Exposure series are not possible when using the flash. If a flash function
is activated, only one picture is taken.
• Exposure series are not possible together with raw data storage (DNG,
see p. 123).
• The maximum frequency of 3 fps is only achieved with shutter speeds of
1 1

Self-timer

When the main switch (1.7, see p. 88) is set to
timer mode.
• The respective indication appears (2.2.11).
The self timer allows you to take a picture with a delay of either 2 or 12 s.
This is particularly useful for group photographs, where you want to appear
in the picture yourself or if you want to avoid the picture being out of focus
due to camera shake when releasing the shutter. In such cases, we recom-
mend that you mount the camera on a tripod.
Setting
Press the left/ direction button (1.25), and in the appearing menu, se-
lect the desired delay time. This can be done alternatively with the setting
dial (1.20), the up and down direction buttons (1.21/1.24), or by repeat-
edly pressing the left direction button again.
Confirm the setting by pressing either the shutter release button (1.8) or
the MENU / SET button (1.23).
Operation
Press the shutter release button (1.8, see p. 88) all the way down to take
the photograph.
• Progress – with 12 s delay – is indicated by flashing of the self-timer LED
(1.2).
On the monitor, a message counts down the remaining time.
