Taking Pictures with the Self-Timer
The camera is equipped with a ten-second and three-second timer for self-
portraits. When using the self-timer, mount the camera on a tripod (recom-
mended) or rest it on a flat, level surface.
1
Press H (self-timer).
The self-timer menu is displayed.
2
Use the rotary multi selector to choose
[10s] or [3s] and press d.
[10s] (10 seconds): suited for important occasions
(such as weddings)
[3s] (3 seconds): suited for preventing camera shake
The mode selected for self-timer is displayed.
If a setting is not applied by pressing d within five seconds, the selection will be
cancelled.
3
Frame the picture and press the
shutter-release button halfway.
Focus and exposure will be set.
4
Press the shutter-release button
fully.
The self-timer starts and the self-timer lamp
will blink. The lamp stops blinking one sec-
ond before the photograph is taken and
remains lit until the shutter is released.
The number of seconds remaining before
the shutter is released is displayed in the
monitor.
To stop the timer before a picture is taken,
press the shutter-release button again.
