goes off after 10 seconds (or 2 seconds).

Note
• 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 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.
