Double-Action Zoom
Self-Timer
Two consecutive self-
timer pictures can be
taken: The first at a
selected focal length; the
second at the 38 mm focal length.
1. Press the self-timer button until" " appears on
the LCD panel.
2. Manipulate the zooming lever to determine the first
shot's focal length, and focus on the subject or the area
where the subject will appear, then depress the shutter
release button. The first shot will be exposed in about
10 seconds, the lens will move to the wide-angle
position, and the second shot will be exposed about 5
seconds after the first. Note that focus is locked at the
first shot.
Notes on self-timer shooting (including the
Dual-Frame Self-Timer and Double-Action
Zoom Self-Timer):
• To cancel the self-timer at any time after it's been
activated, push the power switch. (In such a case,
the power will not be turned off.)
• When you want to use the flash with the self-timer,
make sure the flash has been charged (the red lamp
glows) before operating the self-timer. If the
batteries are exhausted, the self-timer operation may
not be completed once started. In this case, replace
the batteries.
• When the Bulb mode is used with the self-timer, the
shutter speed is automatically set to approx. 1/2 sec.
