This function lets you take pictures using the self-timer. You can set the camera to release 
the shutter after either 12 or 2 seconds. Fix the camera securely on a tripod for self-timer 
shooting.
For the setting method, see “Sequential shooting” (

gP. 55).

Eyepiece cover
When shooting without looking through the viewfinder, attach the eyepiece cover to the 
viewfinder to prevent the light entering the viewfinder from changing the exposure. Attach the 
eyepiece cover after removing the eyecup as illustrated. The same applies when replacing 
with an optional eyecup.
