Follow step 2 in “Using the Self-Timer”

(= 45) to shoot.

For movies recorded using the self-timer, recording begins after
your specified delay time, but specifying the number of shots has
no effect.

When you specify multiple shots, image brightness and white
balance are determined by the first shot. More time is required
between shots when the flash fires or when you have specified
to take many shots. Shooting will stop automatically when the
memory card becomes full.

When a delay longer than two seconds is specified, two seconds
before the shot, the lamp blinking and self-timer sound will speed
up. (The lamp will remain lit in case the flash fires.)
