OPERATION OF CAMERA CONTROLS-continued

Self-Timer

The built-in self-timer can be used to trip the shutter

after a delay of approximately 10 seconds, and it will

operate whether the shutter speed dial is set for auto

matic or manual shutter speed selection. To take a pic

ture using the self-timer to fire the camera, first set the

aperture and shutter-speed controls, advance the film,

and cock the self-timer by turning its lever downward

as far as it will go; then, simply depress the shutter re

lease button to start the countdown, with shutter re

lease occurring at the completion of the cycle (note that

the mirror will rise as the shutter button is depressed

and return at the end of the cycle). Note that the self

timer can be set either before or after advancing film;

however, once cocked, it cannot be reset except by

pressing the shutter release button. The self-timer may

not be used at the “B” shutter-speed dial setting.

Caution; Should self-timer operation be performed with the

camera set for automatic operation, be sure that the finder eye

piece is covered to prevent the entry of stray light. Failure to

do this can result in incorrectly exposed pictures.

Memory Lock

The convenient location of the self-timer lever, making

for ready finger access, proves advantageous when using

the built-in memory lock function. Memory lock enables

the photographer to retain an exposure measurement

taken close-up to the subject, or via selective composi

tion through theviewfinder, by “locking in” the reading

taken prior to operating the lock. To operate the

memory lock, view through the finder and meter on

the selected area; then, simply push the lever toward

the lens to hold the reading until the completion of the

exposure. The reading will be retained as long as the

control is held in this position. Thus, several frames can

be exposed using the same locked reading. Also, the

aperture can be adjusted without affecting the shutter

speed locked in. (See “High-Contrast Lighting Situa

tions” on page 30 for details on the use of the memory

lock function.)
