Using self-timer mode

4The next steps depend on whether you are capturing a still picture or a video clip:

When	Procedure
capturing:
Still	1 Press the Shutter button halfway down for Focus
picture	Lock. The camera measures and then locks the
	focus and exposure. The camera will hold these
	settings until it takes the picture.

	second countdown appears on the Status LCD.
	If you immediately press the Shutter button all the way
	down without using Focus Lock, the camera will lock
	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.
	You cannot record audio when using the Self-Timer,
	but you can add an audio clip later (see page 51).

	then release it. A 10-second countdown appears
	on the Status LCD.

	Video	button again.
