•When using a tripod etc., 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 once fully, the subject is automatically focused just before recording. In dark places, the self-timer indicator will blink and then may turn on brightly operating as an AF assist lamp (P82) to allow the camera to focus on the subject.

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

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