Using the self-timer

Use the self-timer when you want to be included in a picture, or to ensure a steady Shutter button press. For best results, place the camera on a tripod or steady surface. You can turn on the self-timer using a shortcut (see page 13) or these steps:

1Press the Menu button. Press to choose Self-timer, then press OK.

2Press to choose a Self-timer setting:

2 Seconds— 2 A picture is taken after a 2-second delay.

10 Seconds—10A picture is taken after a 10-second delay (so you have time to get into the scene).

2 Picture Timer—2xThe first picture is taken after a 10-second delay. A second picture is taken 8 seconds later.

3Compose the scene. Press the Shutter button halfway, then completely down. The camera takes the picture/pictures after the delay.

To take a video after a 2- or 10-second delay, use the same procedure but press the Shutter button completely down while in video mode.
