Delaying Shutter Release: Self-Timer Mode

The self-timer can be used for photographs in which you wish to appear yourself or to prevent photographs from being blurred by camera movement that occurs when the shutter-release button is pressed. To use the self-timer:

1 Position the camera

Mount the camera on a tripod (recommended) or rest it on a flat, stable surface.

2 Select a self-timer mode

Press the button until the self- timer icon ( ) is displayed. The macro close-up icon ( ) will also be displayed to indicate that the camera can focus at distances of 2 cm (0.8˝) or more.

3 Compose the photograph

Adjust camera settings and frame the picture.

4 Start the timer

Press the shutter-release button all the way down to activate the timer. Press once for a ten-second delay, twice for a three-second de- lay. To stop the timer, press the shutter-release button a third time.

The self-timer lamp next to the lens will start to blink when the shutter- release button is pressed, and continue to blink until one second before the photo is taken. The self-timer lamp will stay lit during the final second to warn that the shutter is about to be released.
