Taking pictures/videos
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. Place the camera on a tripod or flat surface.
1In any picture-taking mode, press the Info
button to turn on the shortcut icons.
2Press
to highlight the self-timer
icon.
Press
to choose a setting:
10 seconds—A picture is taken after a 10-second delay (so you have time to get into the scene).
2 seconds—A picture is taken after a 2-second delay (for a steady, shutter release on a tripod).
2 shot—The 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.
NOTE: In Panoramic mode (page 13), only the 2- and 10-second options are available.
Use the same procedure to take a 2- or 10-second self-timer video, but press the Shutter button completely down.
