Using the Self-timer to Shoot an Image

•The image is not shot right away after you press the shutter button. Instead, shooting starts after the preset time elapses. The AF assist/REC light/self- timer lamp flashes while the countdown is being performed.

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