With the Triple Self-timer, the camera records a series of three images in the sequence described below.

1.The camera performs a 10-second countdown and then records the first image.

2.The camera prepares to record the next image. The amount of time required for preparation depends on the camera’s current “Size” and “Quality” settings, the type of memory (built-in or card) you are using for image storage, and whether or not the flash is charging.

3.After preparation is complete, the indicator “1sec” appears on the monitor screen, and another image is recorded one second later.

4.Steps 2 and 3 are repeated once more to record the third image.

5. Record the image.

Self-timer lamp

When you press the

shutter release button, the self-timer lamp flashes and the shutter releases after the self- timer reaches the end of its countdown.

You can interrupt an ongoing self-timer countdown by pressing the shutter release button while the self- timer lamp is flashing.

NOTE

The “2 sec” self-timer setting is best when shooting with a slow shutter speed, because it helps to avoid blurring of images due to hand movement.
