Ablinks and the

shutter is activated after 10 seconds (or 2 seconds).

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 simple mode [], the self-timer is fixed to 10 seconds. (P34)

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.)
