2.In the Self-Timermenu, touch On (for one shot) or On-2 Shots ( only), touch OK, then touch to return to Picture Capture or Video Record. For more details on selecting options in the Picture Capture and Video Record menus, see “Using the Picture Capture and Video Record menus” on page 18.

5.Press the Shutter button halfway down to lock focus and exposure. When the focus brackets turn green, press the Shutter button all the way down.

The camera begins the 10-second countdown, then takes the picture or begins

recording the video clip. If you chose On-2 Shots, the camera takes the second picture a few seconds after the first.

6.If you are recording a video clip, press the Shutter button to stop recording.

TIP: If you want to include yourself in the picture, place the camera on a tripod or stable surface, then press the Shutter button all the way down. The camera locks focus and exposure just before the end of the countdown, allowing you time to place yourself in the scene.

The Self-Timersetting resets to the default Off setting after the picture or video clip is taken.
