Taking Pictures with the Self-Timer
The camera is equipped with ten- and three-second timers for self-portraits and
to reduce blur. When using the self-timer, mount the camera on a tripod or rest
it on a flat, level surface. Be sure to turn vibration reduction off when using a tri-
pod (

The self-timer lamp will blink until one second before
the picture is taken, staying lit during the final sec-
ond to warn that the shutter is about to be released.
