j Using the Self-timer
If you do not look through the viewfinder when you press the shutter
button, attach the eyepiece cover (p.270). If stray light enters the
viewfinder when the picture is taken, it may throw off the exposure.
With <q>, the interval between multiple shots may be prolonged
depending on shooting conditions such as the image-recording quality
and external flash use.
<k> enables you to shoot without touching the camera mounted on a
tripod. This prevents camera shake if you shoot still lifes or long
exposures.
After taking self-timer shots, playing back the image (p.388) to check
focus and exposure is recommended.
When using the self-timer to shoot yourself, use focus lock (p.97) on an
object at the same distance as where you will stand.
To cancel the self-timer after it starts, either tap on the LCD monitor or
press the <R> button.
If remote control shooting is enabled, it will take approx. 2 min. for auto
power off to take effect even if [52: Auto power off] is set to [1 min.].
If [z4: Bulb timer] is set to [Enable], <q> ([Self-timer: Continuous])
cannot be selected.
