the way down to start timer.
• Pictures are taken 3 or 10 seconds after
the shutter-release button is pressed.
• The countdown timer on the monitor
turns yellow and shows the number of
seconds remaining until the shutter is
released.
• Press the shutter-release button again to
stop the self-timer.
• The self-timer lamp will blink until one second before the picture is
taken, and will stay lit during the final second to warn that the shut-
ter is about to be released.
