BASIC IMAGE RECORDING

5.Record the image.

releases after the self-

 

timer reaches the end

 

of its countdown.

Self-timer lamp

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

NOTES

•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.

•You can use the key customization feature (page 73)

to configure the camera so the self-timer setting changes whenever you press [￿] and [￿] while in the REC mode.
