Taking a Self-Portrait: Using the Self-Timer

When the self-timer is on, pictures are taken ten or three seconds after the shutter-release button is pressed. This can be used to allow you to appear in your own pictures or to prevent close-up or low-light shots from being blurred by the camera movement that occurs when the shutter-release but- ton is pressed. When using the self-timer, you should either mount the cam- era on a tripod (recommended) or rest it on a flat, level surface.

Display self-timer menu.

Highlight ON.
