Note

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.

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

Depending on the recording conditions, the recording interval may become more than 2 seconds when [ ] is selected.

The flash output maynot be constant when [ ] is set.
