Self Timer

The camera has a self timer so that you can delay
when the picture is taken by a few seconds. It’s
especially useful when using a tripod.

Set it to 3 seconds to steady any vibration caused by
touching the camera right before you take a picture,
or to 10 seconds to allow you time to include
yourself in the picture.

You can use the self-timer indicator to gauge how
much time is left before the picture is taken. For the
3 second mode, it flashes once every half second.
For th 10 second mode, it flashes once a second for
7 seconds and then once every half second for the
remaining three seconds.

Set the Power dial to SETUP. (The Setup menu
appears and LCD BRIGHT is highlighted.)
