•A: Press the shutter button halfway to focus.

•B: Press the shutter button fully to take the picture.

•The self-timer indicator C blinks and the

shutter is activated after 10 seconds (or 2 seconds).

•If you press the

[MENU] button when the self-timer is set, the self-timer setting is cancelled.

•When using a tripod or in other cases, setting the self-timer to 2 seconds is a convenient way to avoid the jitter caused by pressing the shutter button.

•When you press the shutter button fully with one stroke, the subject is automatically focused just before the recording. In dark places, the self-timer indicator blinks and then it may turn on brightly to work as the AF assist lamp (P67) for focusing on the subject.

•In simple mode [], the self-timer is fixed to 10 seconds.

•In [SELF PORTRAIT] in scene mode (P53), the self-timer is fixed to 2 seconds.

•When you set the self-timer in the burst mode, the camera starts taking a picture 2 or 10 seconds after the shutter button is pressed. The number of pictures taken at a time is fixed to 3.

•We recommend using a tripod when recording with the self-timer.

(When you use a tripod, make sure the tripod is stable with the camera attached to it.)
