appears in the active display.

 

3 Frame the subject in the active display.

4The next steps depend on what you are capturing:

Still 1 Press the Shutter button halfway down for Focus Lock picture (camera measures, then locks the focus and exposure).

The camera will hold these settings until it takes the picture.

2Press the Shutter button all the way down. A 10- second countdown appears on the active display and the Self-Timer light on the front of the camera blinks for 10 seconds before the camera takes the picture. If you set SELF-TIMER—2 SHOTS, the Self-Timer light blinks for a few more seconds until the second picture is taken. NOTE 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 64).
