Press the shutter-release button all the way

and three times to stop the timer.
When the shutter-release button is pressed, the
camera will beep and the self-timer lamp below
the shutter-release button will start to blink.
The lamp will continue to blink until one second
before the picture is taken. The self-timer lamp
will stay lit during the final second to warn that
the shutter is about to be released.
