Using the self-timer
Use the self-timer so you can join the picture when taking group shots. After the self-timer is set, the self-timer lamp blinks slowly for 7 seconds, then blinks rapidly for the last 3 seconds prior to shutter release. Self-timer mode automatically turns off after an image is taken.
To use the self-timer:
Attach your camcorder to a tripod or place it on a stable surface.
Turn on your camcorder.
Open the LCD display on your camcorder 90 degrees.
Compose the photograph.
5 Press the Self-timerbutton, then press the Image shutter button to activate the count-down. The count-down appears on the LCD display.
Press the Self-timerbutton again to cancel the self-timer.
