> Thanks, Lesley. To use the delay shutter feature, you select TV > mode? (Not finding the manual's index that helpful.) > > "John Nichols" <[email protected]> Tv is "TimeValue" -> aka Shutter Priority Automation (you set the desired shutter speed, the camera picks the best aperture for the correct exposure). You want the self timer. Look for a symbol like a stop- watch dial. (circle with a pointer) Typically that will give you a 10-second delay between press and exposure. -- bieber.genealogy Dennis Lee Bieber HTTP://home.earthlink.net/~bieber.genealogy/ Dennis Lee Bieber <[email protected]>
