2Take the picture.

•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 canceled.
•When using a tr ipod 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 s hutter 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
(P68) for focusing on the subject.
•In simple mode [ ], the self-timer is fixed
to 10 seconds.
•In [SELF PORTRAIT] in scene mode
(P54), the self-timer is fixed to 2 seconds.
•When you set the s elf-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 when the camera is
attached to it.)
