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.
