Using the Self-timer
The camera is equipped with a self-timer that releases the shutter ten seconds or two
seconds after you press the shutter-release button. The self-timer is useful when you want to
be in the picture you are taking, and when you want to avoid the effects of camera shake that
occur when you press the shutter-release button. When using the self-timer, use of a tripod is
recommended. Set Vibration reduction to Off in the setup menu (
A104) when using a
tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.
