tUsing the Self-Timer

You can set the Self-timer to shoot after either two or ten seconds. A setting of two seconds is useful for preventing camera shake.

1 Turn the mode dial to 5/K.

2 Press the t (Self-timer) button.

The Self-timer symbol appears on the screen.

The [10] to the right of the symbol indicates the number of seconds. In this case, if you press the shutter release button, the camera will shoot after 10 seconds.

Each press of the t (Self-timer) button changes the self-timer setting in the following order: 10 sec, 2 sec, and Self-timer Off.

3 Press the shutter release button.

The focus is locked, and the AF auxiliary light blinks when the self-timer starts.

Note ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once the picture is taken, the self-timer turns off.

When the self-timer is set to 2 seconds, the AF auxiliary light does not blink.

If you are using the camera for the first time, read this section.
