Taking Pictures with the Self-Timer

The self-timer is useful for taking pictures of yourself, such as in group souvenir shots,
or if you want to reduce camera shake when you press the shutter-release button. You
can select a two-second or ten-second timer.
When using the self-timer, use of a tripod is recommended. When the camera is
stabilized with a tripod, set Vibration reduction (

A160) to Off in the setup menu

(

A152).

When the shutter is released, the self-timer

turns OFF.
