HP 630 manual Taking self-timer pictures

Taking self-timer pictures

You can also take still pictures using the Self-Timersettings in the Capture menu.

1Set Self-Timer to either On or On - 2 shots in the Capture menu. See Using the capture menu on page 35, and then see Self-timer on page 38.

2Secure the camera to a tripod or set it on a stable surface.

3Frame the subject for your picture in the viewfinder (see page 28).

4Press the Shutter button halfway down. The camera measures and then locks the focus and exposure. The camera will hold these settings for the 10 seconds until it takes the picture.

NOTE If you immediately press the Shutter button all the way down instead, the camera locks focus and exposure just before the end of the 10-second countdown. This is useful when one or more subjects will be entering the picture during the 10-second countdown period.

5Press the Shutter button all the way down. If Live View is on, a 10-second countdown appears on the Image Display. The Self-Timer light on the front of the camera blinks slowly for 7 seconds and then quickly for the final 3 seconds before the camera takes the picture. If you set Self-Timerto On - 2 shots, the Self-Timer light blinks for a few more seconds until the second picture is taken.
