Available Shooting Modes p. 218

You can set the time delay and the numbers of shots you wish to take in advance.

10 sec. Self-Timer: shoots 10 seconds after you press the shutter button.

• 2 seconds before the shutter releases, the self-timer lamp and sound speed up.

2 sec. Self-Timer: shoots 2 seconds after you press the shutter button.

• At the same time as the shutter button is pressed, the self-timer sound beeps rapidly*, the self-timer lamp blinks, and the shutter releases 2 seconds later.

Custom Timer: you can change the delay time (0–10, 15, 20, 30 sec.) and number of shots (1–10).

• When [Delay] is set to 2 or more seconds, the self-timer sound beeps quickly 2 seconds before the shutter releases*. When [Shots] is set to more than 1, the self-timer sound only beeps before the first shot.

* This may differ depending on your My Camera settings (p. 175).
