Using the Self-timer
The camera is equipped with a self-timer that releases the shutter ten seconds or two
seconds after you press the shutter-release button. The self-timer is useful when you
want to be in the picture you are taking, and when you want to avoid the effects of
camera shake that occur when you press the shutter-release button. When using the
self-timer, use of a tripod is recommended. Set Vibration reduction to Off in the
setup menu (
A 88) when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.
