In this issue, we will discuss the self-timer of Canon’s film autofocus compact camera released in 1979.

What is a self-timer?

Self-timer is a very useful function that allows you to automatically take a picture of yourself or a group photo without a person to release the shutter.

This is a black plastic compact camera released in 1979.

The self-timer lever is,
located on the front side of the body on the right side of the lens.

The levers are plastic and thin. White line accents are used.
The rotating shaft is a large circle with a knurled pattern.

To use the self-timer, turn the lever clockwise 45 degrees and press the shutter button.

The shutter will turn off in approximately 10 seconds.

This time we sent you about the self-timer of Canon’s film autofocus compact camera released in 1979.

I had never seen a compact camera with a self-timer lever, so it was very new to me.
I was also interested in that part of the camera because it seemed to suddenly release the shutter without any action after 10 seconds.
