Self-timer

The X-700's electronic self-timer

can be used to delay release of the

shutter for 10 seconds. To operate

it:

1. Mount the camera on a sturdy

support, compose your picture, and

focus.

2. Set the mode/shutter-speed selec-

tor at any setting other than "B",

and make sure the film is advanced.

3. Pull the self-timer switch up.

4. To start the timer, press the

operating button.

A visual signal and (if main

switch is at "ON ") audible beeps

indicate how much time is left

before the self-timer releases the

shutter. The self-timer LED blinks

and the camera beeps as follows:

NOTES

• If you wish to cancel the self-

timer after it has been started, push

the self-timer switch down or turn

the main switch off.

• Be sure to turn the self-timer off

after the picture has been taken. If

you do not, the next picture will

also be taken after a 10-sec. delay.

• When taking self-timer pictures in

P or A mode, use the eyepiece cap

(p. 25).
