Yeah, that's the time to make sure the beeper is off and to avoid using the
self-timer and display light!
This saves a bit of power to let you use the meter for a while before the
shutter locks up!
Then if you're desperate, you might meter in manual mode to see what aperture
you can use with Mechanical 1/60th, and switch over to Mechanical 1/60th to
take a shot or two!
This is assuming that you are in the middle of the Outback on a Sunday
afternoon and the aliens have just landed in front of you!
