The picture-taking procedure is the
same as with the <Y> Full Auto
mode on page 18.
Look through the viewfinder and
press the shutter button fully to
start the self-timer.
sThe picture will be taken about 10
sec. later.
First 8 sec.: Self-timer lamp blinks
slowly.
Final 2 sec.: Self-timer lamp blinks
quickly.
sDuring the self-timer operation, the
LCD panel counts down the
seconds until the picture is taken.
•To cancel the self-timer after it starts, press the <^> button.
When using the self-timer to take a picture of only yourself, first
lock the focus (p.30) on an object at the same distance where you
will be in the picture.
Do not stand in front of the camera when you press the shutter
button to start the self-timer. Doing so prevents the camera from
focusing on the subject.
