Using the Self-Timer

By using the [ ] self-timer you can join into the screen when taking group shots. According to your preferences you
can take pictures with the self-timer in any scene mode (Auto/Sports/Night Scene/Portrait/Landscape/Backlight).

Self-timer duration can be set as 10 seconds or 5 seconds. Self-timer mode appears cyclically as
[10 s]

[5 s]

[Self-Timer Off]. After the self-timer is set, the shutter automatically releases after 10 seconds or

5 seconds. The self-timer lamp starts blinking relatively slow for the first 7 seconds or the first 2 seconds and then
blinking rapidly for the last 3 seconds.

1. Secure the camera to a tripod or place it on a stable surface.
2. Slide the lens cover to turn the camera on.
