When using a tripod or in other cases,
setting the self-timer to 2 seconds is
a convenient way to stabilize the jitter
caused by pressing the shutter button.
When you press the shutter button
fully with one stroke, the subject is
automatically focused just before the
recording. In dark places, the self-timer
indicator blinks and then it may turn on
brightly to work as the AF assist lamp for
focusing on the subject.
In Intelligent auto mode [
], [10 SEC.]
or [OFF] is selectable.
In [SELF PORTRAIT] mode, [2 SEC.] or
[OFF] is selectable.
When you set the self-timer in burst
mode, the camera starts taking a picture
2 or 10 seconds after the shutter button
is pressed. The number of pictures taken
at one time is fi xed to 3.
We recommend using a tripod when
setting the self-timer.
You cannot use the self-timer in [HI-
SPEED BURST].
