1 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 canceled.

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 (P77) for focusing on the subject.

The self-timer is fixed at 2 seconds when you are using [SELF PORTRAIT] in scene mode (P69).

When you set the self-timer in the burst mode, the number of pictures taken at one time is fixed to 3.

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.

We recommend using a tripod when setting the self-timer. (When using a tripod, be sure to confirm that the tripod is stable when this unit is attached.)
