Delaying Shutter Release: Choosing a Self-Timer Mode

When the self-timer is on, pictures will not be taken until ten seconds after the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down, giving you time to position yourself in front of the camera when taking pictures in which you want to appear yourself. When taking low-light or close-up shots with the flash off, the self-timer can be used to prevent pictures from being blurred by camera movement that occurs when the shutter-release button is pressed.

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 Turn the self-timer on

The self-timer setting is controlled with the multi selector.
