Custom Set-up: Timed Shutter Release?

DrBop · 01-01-2017, 12:18 PM

Fellow Pentaxians,

I am a new K-1 user. Hope you can help with a question regarding a custom User set up. Can (how do) I specify a two-second delay prior to the shutter release as part of a Custom User profile?

I would like this delayed shutter release as part of my Tripod Landscape profile.

I've been through all the camera menu settings multiple times and I can't seem to find a way to configure a shutter release specification with a custom profile. And this would seem to be a natural. Perhaps I've overlooked something...

Thank you!

Don

It's just in the drive mode menu. Select the 2s delay, then save your User mode and it should remember it

Thanks, Adam! Worked like a charm. (And I would not have I figured that out on my own!)

Now, I just have to find the setting for automatically adjusting the circular polarizing filter, and I'll be all set!
