Taking Pictures with the Self-timer

The self-timer menu is displayed.

and press

10 s (ten seconds): Suited for important occasions
(such as weddings)
2 s (two seconds): Suited for preventing camera shake
The mode selected for self-timer is displayed.
If a setting is not applied by pressing k within a few seconds, the selection will be
cancelled.

shutter-release button halfway.

The self-timer starts, and the number of
seconds remaining before the shutter is

released, the lamp remains lit and stops
blinking.
To stop the timer before a picture is taken, press
