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 to allow the camera to focus on the subject.
We recommend using a tripod when recording with the Self-timer.
The self-timer cannot be set when recording motion pictures.
