Self-Timer Mode
The self-timer is generally used for self-portraits or when taking low-light
or close-up shots without a fl ash, when it prevents pictures from being
blurred by camera movement that occurs when the shutter-release button
is pressed.
When using the self-timer option, mount the camera on a tripod (recom-
mended) or rest it on a fl at, level surface.
