Self-timer Operation

The self-timer is convenient for group photographs. You can use it in any Easy Shooting mode or Creative mode. We recommend using a tripod when you use the self-timer.

1 Select the self-timer.

● Press the 〈DRIVE〉 button ( 6 ), and turn

the 〈 〉 dial to select 〈 〉 .

2 Focus on the subject.

● Make sure the in-focus indicator 〈●〉 and the exposure setting are displayed.

3 Take the picture.

● Press the shutter button down fully.

The beep sounds as the red-eye reduction lamp operates, and the picture is taken after 10 seconds.

First 8 seconds:

Slow beeps and the lamp blinks slowly.

Last 2 seconds:

Faster beeps and the lamp stays on.

While the self-timer is operating, the LCD panel shows the number of seconds remaining until the picture is taken.

● To cancel the self-timer, press the 〈DRIVE〉 button.

Do not stand in front of the camera when you press the shutter button to start the self-timer. Doing so prevents the camera from focusing on the subject.

● You can set the beep that indicates the subject is in focus and the beep that indicates the self-timer is operating to On or Off. (→120)

●When using the self-timer to photograph only yourself, lock the focus (→62) on an object at about the same distance as where you will be.

●You can use the Remote Switch RS-80N3 (sold separately) or Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3 (sold separately) to take a picture when you are away from the camera.
