Customizing the Self-Timer

You can specify the delay (0 – 30 seconds) and number of shots (1 – 10).

1Choose [$].

zzFollowing step 1 in “Using the Self-Timer” (=32), choose [$] and press the <n> button.

2Configure the setting.

zzPress the <o><p> buttons to choose [Delay] or [Shots].

zzPress the <q><r> buttons to choose a value, and then press the <m> button.

zzOnce the setting is complete, [$] is displayed.

zzFollow step 2 in “Using the Self-Timer” (=32) to shoot.

•For movies shot using the self-timer, [Delay] represents the delay

before recording begins, but the [Shots] setting has no effect.

• When you specify multiple shots, image brightness and white balance are determined by the first shot. More time is required between shots when the flash fires or when you have specified to take many shots. Shooting will stop automatically when the memory card becomes full.

•When a delay longer than two seconds is specified, two seconds before the shot, the lamp blinking and self-timer sound will speed up. (The lamp will remain lit in case the flash fires.)
