Taking Pictures with the Self-timer

1 Select the self-timer mode.

: Self-timer set to 10 seconds

;

: Self-timer set to 2 seconds

;

No display: cancelled

2 Take the picture.

A: Press the shutter button halfway to

focus.

B: Press the shutter button fully to take

the picture.

• The self-timer indicator

A blinks and the shutter
is activated after
10 seconds (or
2 seconds).

• If you press the [MENU] button when

the self-timer is set, the self-timer
setting is cancelled.

• When using a tripod or in other cases,

setting the self-timer to 2 seconds is a
convenient way to avoid 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
(P77) for focusing on the subject.

• In simple mode [

], the self-timer is fixed

to 10 seconds. (P34)

• When you set the self-timer in the burst

mode, the camera starts taking a picture 2
or 10 seconds after the shutter button is
pressed. The number of pictures taken at
a time is fixed to 3.

• We recommend using a tripod when

recording with the self-timer.
