Taking Pictures with the Self-timer

1Select the self-timer mode.

: Self -timer set to 10seconds
;
: Self -timer set to 2seconds
;
No display: cancelled

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 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
(P90) 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
recording with the self-timer.
(When you use a tripod, make sure the
tripod is stable with the camera attached
to it.)
