Nope. But you can do the mirror lock-up trick* and then use the self-timer to take the shot. This is how I usually do it becaus I often don't have a cable release handy. *The mirror lock-up trick works on the MX, and the KM/KX/K1000: If you flick your finger down/against the shutter releast just right, you'll trip the mirror mechanism but not the shutter. Then you can push the shutter release down all the way to take the shot. Practice without any film in the camera and you can get pretty good at it. -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
