H Taking a Self-Portrait: Using the Self-Timer
When the self-timer is on, pictures are taken 10 or 3 seconds after the shutter-
release button is pressed. This can be used to allow you to appear in your own
pictures or to prevent close-up or low-light shots from being blurred by the cam-
era movement that occurs when the shutter-release button is pressed.
The self-timer lamp on the front of the camera will blink until
one second before the picture is taken, staying lit during the fi-
nal second to warn that the shutter is about to be released.
The Self-Timer
• When using the self-timer, mount the camera on a tripod (recommended) or rest it on a
flat, level surface.
• If an option other than z Intvl timer shooting is selected for Continuous (c89), Con-
tinuous will automatically be set to r Single.
• When BSS (c92) is set to ON or Auto bracketing (c93) is set to C Auto bracketing,
or scene mode is set to N MUSEUM (c40) or P SPORTS (c41), Continuous will au-
tomatically be set to r Single.
Display Self-timer menu. Highlight option.

• Countdown timer in monitor shows

• Press the shutter-release button again
or press multi selector left to stop the
self-timer.
