Using the Face Self-Timer
Still Images Movies
The camera will shoot about two seconds after detecting that the face of
another person (such as the photographer) has entered the shooting area
(= 83). This is useful when including yourself in group photos or similar
shots.

area and look at the camera.
● After the camera detects a new face, the
lamp blinking and self-timer sound will
speed up. (When the flash fires, the lamp
will remain lit.) About two seconds later,
the camera will shoot.

after detecting a wink by the person
whose face is inside the frame.

triggered the self-timer, press the
[ ] button.
● If the wink is not detected, wink again slowly and deliberately.
● Winking may not be detected if eyes are obscured by hair, a hat,
or glasses.
● Closing and opening both eyes at once will also be detected as
a wink.
● If winking is not detected, the camera will shoot about 15 seconds
later.
● To change the number of shots, press the [ ][ ] buttons
after choosing [ ] in step 1. [Blink Detection] (= 55) is only
available for the final shot.
● If no one is in the shooting area when the shutter button is
pressed all the way down, the camera will shoot after a person
enters the shooting area and winks.
● The zoom factor cannot be changed with the [ ] button after you
press the shutter button all the way down.
