Press the shutter button halfway to focus

 

and then press it fully to take the picture.

 

The self-timer indicator A blinks and the shutter is activated after 10 seconds (or 2 seconds).

If you press [MENU/SET] while the self-timer is set, the self-timer setting is cancelled.

Note

When using a tripod etc., setting the self-timer to 2 seconds is a convenient way to avoid the jitter caused by pressing the shutter button.

When you press the shutter button once fully, the subject is automatically focused just before recording. In dark places, the self-timer indicator will blink and then may turn on brightly operating as an AF assist lamp (P66) to allow the camera to focus on the subject.

We recommend using a tripod when recording with the self-timer.

The number of pictures which can be taken in [BURST] is fixed to 3.

The number of pictures which can be taken in [FLASH BURST] in scene mode is fixed to 5.

Self-timer cannot be set to 2 seconds in Intelligent auto mode.

Self-timer cannot be set to 10 seconds in [SELF PORTRAIT] in scene mode or clipboard mode.

Self-timer cannot be used while in [HI-SPEED BURST] or [UNDERWATER] in scene mode.
