hUsing the Self-Timer

The camera offers a “couple timer” for self-portraits taken with a friend, a “group timer” for group por- traits, an “auto release timer” for baby portraits, a ten-second timer (pg. 36) that allows photographers to appear in their own photographs, and a two-second timer (pg. 36) that can be used to avoid blur caused by the camera moving when the shutter button is pressed.

Tap the self-timer icon to display self-timer options and tap to select.
