Delaying Shutter Release: Self-Timer Mode
When the self-timer is used, the camera will not take a picture until ten or three
seconds after the shutter-release button is pressed. The ten-second timer is gener-
ally used for pictures in which you wish to appear yourself, when it gives you time to
position yourself in front of the camera after pressing the shutter-release button. The
three-second timer prevents pictures from being blurred by camera movement that
occurs when the shutter-release button is pressed. This feature is most useful when
taking low-light or close-up shots with the flash turned off.
To use the self-timer :
1 Position the camera
Mount the camera on a tripod (recommended) or rest it on a flat, stable surface.
2 Select a self-timer mode
