1. If all you're looking for is a short delay to counter any

camera movement triggered by your pressing the shutter

release, use the 2-second delay. Better still, consider using

a remote control cable or look at Custom Setting #D9 (see

page <552>). If you get any camera movement with those

2. Remember, the white self timer lamp on the front of the

camera tells you the status of the countdown. It flashes

during the first part and then lights steadily during the last

two seconds prior to exposure.

gives you a fifth Self Timer delay: 30 seconds.
