JUsing the Self-Timer

The camera offers a “baby auto release timer” for taking pictures of babies, a ten-second timer (pg. 41) that allows photographers to appear in their own photographs, and a two-second timer (pg. 41) that can be used to avoid blur caused by the camera moving when the shutter button is pressed.

The shutter is released automatically when the camera detects a human portrait subject facing the camera. Use for portraits of babies.

Auto Release

Pictures taken with the auto release timer can be displayed using image search (pg. 49). When a picture taken with the auto release timer is displayed, the camera can automatically select faces for red-eye removal (pg. 89), playback zoom (pg. 43), slide shows (pg. 86), printing (pg. 59), and cropping (pg. 90).
