F-1N self timer

<p>Where is and how do I set the self timer on a F-1N?</p>

The self-timer is located at the top of the camera, under the shutter release button. You will see a little switch for moving the camera from "L," which is "Lock," to "A," which is Automatic. That's the setting for use with most work, and will release the shutter when the top button is pushed. But on that same slide is, on the other side, the notation "S." That is the self-time; I just confirmed that on my camera. The F-1N is so much easier to use than my brand new EOS 70 D, that I should get some film and get some macro photos, using the self-timer, for Sunday's snow storm. <br>

<p>Assuming that your camera is a New F1 and not an F1n, have you checked out the manual?:<br>

<p>"A" below the shutter release button isn't for "automatic" it's for advance, and "S" is for self timer.</p>

<p>Thanks Ben. At least I got the "S" correct. ;)</p>
