CANCEL MENU

If you press the [MENU] button when the self-timer is set, the self-timer setting is canceled.

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

The self-timer indicator 1

blinks and the shutter is activated after 10 seconds (or 2 seconds).

When you press the 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 (P74) for focusing on the subject.

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 setting the self-timer.
