Using the Self-timer with Gesture Control

When you position the monitor facing forward in the same direction as the camera lens and move your hand toward an icon displayed on the monitor, the shutter is released after a countdown. You can also move your hand toward the other icons to control the zoom position or record a movie. This function is useful when taking self-portrait images or shooting from a short distance.

This function is available in Portrait and Night portrait scene modes, smart portrait mode, and A(auto) mode.
