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 the subject.

<J> (single-frame shooting) or <H>.
•When using the self-timer to take a picture of only yourself, first lock the
focus (p.50) on an object at the same distance where you will be in the
