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 the subject.
•To cancel the self-timer after it starts, set the film advance mode lever to
<J> (single-frame shooting) or <H>.
• When using the self-timer to take a picture of only yourself, first lock the
focus (p.50) on an object at the same distance where you will be in the
picture.
• The self-timer beeper can be silenced. (p.74)
You can use self-timer in any Basic Zone mode or Creative Zone mode.
We recommend using a tripod when you use the self-timer.
