Using Motion Shutter to Trigger a Self-timer Operation (Motion Shutter)

With Motion Shutter the camera automatically triggers a self-timer countdown whenever it detects subject movement within an icon you specify on the monitor screen. This means you can control operation of the self-timer from a distance by waving your hand, so you can include yourself in the image being shot.

1.In the REC mode, touch the recording mode icon (page 39).

2.Touch “l” (Motion Shutter).

3.Drag the start self-timer icon “ ” and preview icon “” to the location in the image where you want movement to be detected.

•Keep the two icons separate from each other. Whenever you move an icon to a location where it overlaps the other icon, the other icon will move out of the way automatically.

4.When everything is ready, press the shutter button all the way down.

The start self-timer icon will change to “ ” to indicate that the camera is in standby for shooting.

5.Facing the camera, move your hand or perform some other movement in the area of the start self-timer icon you positioned in step 3.

When the camera detects subject movement within the icon, it will automatically start a self-timer countdown. The camera will shoot an image when the countdown reaches zero, and then go back into Motion Shutter standby to wait for the next trigger movement.

NOTE

•The trigger time of the Motion Shutter self-timer is fixed at two seconds.

•The preview icon “ ” will appear on the monitor screen when a snapshot is shot. When the camera detects movement within the preview icon, it will display the image that was shot for three seconds.

•Motion Shutter exits standby automatically after it shoots six images.

•To cancel Motion Shutter standby at any time, press the shutter button or touch the monitor screen.

•Motion Shutter may not operate properly when there is little difference in the color of the subject and the color of the background enclosed by the boundary, or when the subject is located far away from the camera, making it too small.
