For Video Clips:
To start recording video, press the Video button and then release it. If Live View is on, a 10-second countdown appears on the Image Display. The Self-Timer/Video light on the front of the camera then blinks for 10 seconds before the camera starts recording the video.
To stop recording the video clip, press the Video
button again; otherwise, the video will continue recording until the camera runs out of memory.
NOTE: With either the Self-Timer or the Self-Timer -
2 Shots setting, only one video clip is recorded after the 10-second countdown.
The self-timer setting resets to the default Normal setting after the picture is taken or the video clip is recorded.
TIP: If you are taking pictures in low light, you can use the self-timer setting to help you take good pictures. Set the camera on something sturdy, such as a tripod, and frame your picture. Then, carefully press the Shutter button all the way down and remove your hand from the camera. The camera will take the picture 10 seconds later rather than when you press the shutter button. This will eliminate any possibility of you shaking the camera when the picture is taken.
TIP: To restore the self-timer setting to what it was when you
last turned the camera off, hold down the button as you turn the camera back on.
