•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.

•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 (P90) for focusing on the subject.

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

•The self-timer is fixed at 2 seconds when you are using [SELF PORTRAIT] in scene mode (P64).
