Do not stand in front of the camera when you press the shutter button to start the
self-timer. Doing so prevents the camera from focusing on the subject.
You can set the beep that indicates the subject is in focus and the beep that
indicates the self-timer is operating to [On] or [Off]. (->-118)
.. When using the self-timer to shoot only yourself, lock the focus (->58) on an
object at about the same distance as where you will be.
You can use the Remote Switch RS-80N3 (optional) or Timer Remote Controller
TC-80N3 (optional) to take a picture when you are away from the camera.
