Using the Self-Timer

You can set the Self-timer to shoot after either two or ten seconds. If the person who takes the photo wants to be in the still image as well, it is convenient to use a setting of ten seconds; a setting of two seconds is useful for preventing camera shake. Attach a tripod securely to the tripod mount on the bot- tom of the camera.

To shoot with the Self-timer, follow the steps below.

Press the shutter button.

The flash begins to blink and the Self-timer starts. After about ten seconds the camera takes the picture. About two seconds before it shoots, the time interval between blinks begins to shorten and the audio tone begins to beep.

After shooting, Self-timer mode switches off.

Turn the Mode Dial to 5(Shooting Mode).

Press the T(Self-timer) button.

The self-timer mode is switched on and the Self-timer symbol is displayed.

The "10" to the right of the symbol indicates the num- ber of seconds. In this case, if you press the shutter button, the camera will shoot after 10 seconds.

• Each press of the T(Self-timer) button, it selects a function in the following sequence: 10 sec, 2 sec, Self-timer Off, 10 sec, 2 sec...

• Self-timer settings are released when the power is turned off.

• Pressing the T(Self-timer) button may clear the display on the LCD monitor in order to recharge the flash.
