HP 850 manual Using self-timer mode

Using self-timer mode

In Self-Timermode, the camera takes the picture 10 seconds after you press the Shutter button all the way down.

1Secure the camera to a tripod or set it on a stable surface.

2Rotate the OFF/Mode selector to Self-Timer mode.

3Frame the subject for your picture in the active display.

4Press the Shutter button halfway

down. The camera measures and then locks the focus and exposure. The camera will hold these settings for the 10 seconds until it takes the picture.

NOTE If you immediately press the Shutter button all the way down instead, the camera locks focus and exposure just before the end of the 10-second countdown. This is useful when one or more subjects will be entering the picture during the 10-second countdown period.

5Press the Shutter button all the way down. A 10-second countdown appears on the active display. The Self-Timer light on the front of the camera blinks slowly for 7 seconds and then quickly for the final 3 seconds before the camera takes the picture.

After the picture is taken, the image is displayed for several seconds in Instant Review on the active display. See Using instant review on page 25.
