Taking Pictures With the Timer

Setting the timer creates a 10-second delay between the time you press the shutter button and the actual

image capture. This allows you to take a picture of yourself.

Follow these steps to take a picture with the timer:

1Secure the camera on a flat surface or on a tripod and remove the lens cover. (See page A-2 for information on attaching the camera to a tripod.)

2Slide down the camera dial lock and turn the camera dial to On or View. Wait until the status light turns green.

3Press the timer button. The timer icon appears on the display panel.

4Press the shutter button. The timer icon and the red timer light on the front of the camera flash slowly for

8 seconds. Then they flash rapidly for 2 seconds before the shutter is released.

The camera beeps when the image is captured. The status light on the back of the camera flashes red as PhotoPC 750Z processes the image. When the status light stops flashing and turns green, you can take another picture.

5To turn off the timer, press the timer button again or turn off the camera.
