Setting the 2 second delay on my K-1.

TerryL · 03-31-2018, 01:01 PM

Hi Folks,
I feel like an idiot for having to ask this, but how do I set the 2 second shutter delay on my K-1? Better yet, where is it in the manual. I have searched the manual, as well as gone through the menus on my camera. I just can't find it. Thank you very much.

It's in the drive mode menu (accessible via the "up" button on the 4-way pad):

By the way, I would recommend that you read through our K-1 review fully, as I'm sure this will uncover some features you may have missed:

Just to add to this. If your focus grid is displayed on the rear screen, moving the arrows will only move the focus point. Press the button above the up arrow to get to the correct screen.

Great, thank you guys. Also, how do I magnify the live view when I am manual focusing? I am testing my 43mm lens, and want to check the lens in live view, while manual focusing, on a tripod, SR off, and a two second delay. Thank you very much.

With live view on press the OK button in the middle of the four way control. Press it again to close it.
