b. Press the Shutter button all the way down. If the Image Display is on, a 10-second countdown appears on the screen. The Self-Timer light on the front of the camera then blinks for 10 seconds before the camera takes the picture. If you set the camera to 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.
NOTE You cannot record audio with a still picture when using the Self-Timersettings, but you can add an audio clip later (see Record Audio on page 94).
For Video Clips:
To start recording video, press the Video 
button and then release it. If the Image Display is on, a 10-second countdown appears on the screen. The Self-Timer light on the front of the camera then blinks for 10 seconds before the camera starts recording the video.
NOTE With either the Self-Timer or the Self-Timer - 2 Shots setting, only one video clip is recorded after the 10- second countdown.
To stop recording the video clip, press the Video 
button again; otherwise, the video will continue recording until the camera runs out of memory.
