BASIC IMAGE RECORDING
Using the Self-timer
The self-timer lets you select either a 2-second or 10-
second delay of the shutter release after you press the
shutter release button. A Triple Self-timer feature lets you
perform three consecutive self-timer operations to record
three images.
1.
In the REC mode, press [MENU].
2.
Use [] and [] to select the “REC” tab.
3.

Use [] and [] to select “Self-timer”, and

then press [].

4.

Use [] and [] to select the self-timer time

you want to use, and then press [SET].

• Selecting “Off” in step 4 disables the self-timer.
• 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.
To do this:
Specify a 10-second self-timer
Specify a 2-second self-timer
Specify Triple Self-timer
