Selecting the Shooting Mode (Cont’d)

Using the Self-Timer

Self-Timer Mode

-Use a tripod.

-When the shutter button is pressed, the self-timer LED comes on, and after 10 seconds, a picture will be shot.

•If you wish to cancel the self-timer function, close the lens cover.

•After a picture is taken, the self-timer mode (10-second delay) will be can- celled. If you wish to use the self-timer repeatedly, set the mode every time you take a picture.

•The activation time for the self-timer can be also set at “3-second delay” by using the set-up menu (p. 103). If you set the self-timer for a 3-second delay, the setting is not cancelled after shooting so that you can continue to take a picture using the self-timer.

-Distance can be set to 4m, 2m or 1m.

•This mode is set to OFF as a default. In order to use this mode, select “MACRO” in custom mode menu and then set the mode setting to ON (p.109,3).
