Self-timer Operation

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

Select the self-timer.

1 ● Press the <DRIVE > button (6 ), and turn the < > dial to select <>.

Focus on the subject.

2 ● Make sure the focus confirmation light <●> and the exposure setting are displayed.

Take the picture.

3 ● Press the shutter button down fully. ➡ The beeper 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 count down.

● 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]. (→118)

●When using the self-timer to shoot only yourself, lock the focus (→58) on an object at about the same distance as where you will be.

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