Self-timer

First make sure the film is advanced to the next frame.
Turn the self-timer/lock lever to "S."
Focus the subject and take a meter reading. Do not set the shutter dial to
"B" because the self-timer will not function on this setting.
Press the shutter button. A "beep-beep" sound will be emitted. The shutter
will be released automatically ten seconds later. At two seconds before shutter
release, the camera will begin to beep at a faster rate.
Following exposure, turn the lever back to "A" or "L" unless you want to use
the selftimer for the next shot.
Notes
In shutter-priority AE. the camera is designed to reflect any last-second changes
in lighting and will not set the exposure until an instant before the shutter
itself is released.
In aperture-priority AE, the camera sets the shutter speed the moment you
press the shutter button. Therefore, do not stand in front of the lens while
you press the shutter button or exposure may be incorrect.
