Using the self-timer

The self-timer duration is 10 seconds. After the activation of the self-timer by pressing the shutter button, the self-timer lamp starts blinking slowly for 7 sec- onds and then blinking faster for the rest of 3 seconds. This allows you to get into the scene when taking group images.

2.Open the lens cover, turn mode dial to the

mode, and power on the camera.

3.Press the button.

The icon appears on the LCD monitor.

4.Compose the picture.

5.Press the shutter button.

The self-timer function is activated.

6.After ten seconds, the camera takes an image.

To cancel self-timer photography at any time, press the shutter button to disrupt the sequence.

After one shot is taken, the self-timer mode is turned to off.

Using the flash

The flash is designed to function automatically when lighting conditions warrant the use of flash. You can take an image using a flash mode suitable to your circumstances. If you change the flash mode, the camera will retain that setting even if the camera is turned off.

1.Open the lens cover, turn the mode dial to the mode, and power on

the camera.

2.Press the button located on the rear side of the camera repeatedly until your desired flash mode appears.

Flash setting can only be changed in Land or Sea Exposure modes, not in External Flash mode. In External Flash exposure mode the camera’s flash will always fire.
