lamp comes on solid when you press the
shutter release button, stays on for 10
seconds, then blinks for 2 seconds.
• Remember that the self-timer setting stays
ON for one shot only. If you wish to use the
self-timer again, you must reopen the menu
and set it back ON.
To cancel a self-timed shot...
You have 10 seconds to change your mind and cancel the shot after pressing the

on an object that is the same distance away as spot where you plan to position
yourself.
