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 bottom of the camera.

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

1. Turn the Mode Dial to 5 (Shoot- ing Mode).

2. Press the T (Self-timer) button.

The Self Timer mark appears momen- tarily in a large size at the center of the LCD monitor and then is displayed at the upper left.

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

3. 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 sec- onds 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.
