Using the self-timer
You can use the camera’s self-timer button to set a delay time
before a picture is taken. You can also set the camera to take pictures
in intervals to create a time-lapsed series of pictures.
The camera has four self-timer modes:

take a picture about 10 seconds after the shutter button is
pressed.

camera is moved while pressing the shutter button. Select
this mode to take a picture about 2 seconds after the shutter
button is pressed.
10 + 2

this mode to take a picture about 10 seconds after the
shutter button is pressed. Following the first picture, the
camera prepares to take another picture and recharges the
flash if required. A second picture is taken about 2 seconds
after the camera is ready to take the picture.
Interval Use this setting to take a time-lapsed series of pictures.
Select this mode to take pictures in
fixed intervals and
number of picture cycles.
The picture fixed interval can be set to 1, 3, 10, or 60
minutes. The number of picture cycles can be set from 2

During the time between the fixed intervals, the red
viewfinder LED flashes and the camera turns off.

and number of picture cycles, see “Interval/Count” on
