Self timer
Pressing the shutter release button (see below)
starts the preset delay time (see p. 157), after
which a picture is taken.
Switching on
After switching on, i.e. after setting one of the three
functions S, C or
and the displays in the viewfinder (2.1.1) appear (see
p. 98).
Note:
After switching on, the camera is ready to use after
approx. 1 s.
the LED (1.31) lights up briefly
Switching off
even if the main switch is not set to
OFF
is automatically switched off if an automatic power
off time has been set in the menu (Auto power off,
4.1.15, see p. 119/123), and the camera is not oper at ed
within this time.
Note:
If the camera will not be used for an extended period
or is stored in a case, always switch it off at the main
switch. This prevents any power consumption, includ
ing that which continues to occur in standby mode
after the exposure meter is turned off automatically
and the display is extinguished. This also prevents
pictures from being taken accidentally.
