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.

To do this:

Select this setting:

 

 

Specify a 10-second 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.
