BASIC IMAGE RECORDING
76
5.
Record the image.
• When you press the
shutter button, the self-
timer lamp flashes and
the shutter releases
after the self-timer
reaches the end of its
countdown (about 10
seconds or two
seconds).
• You can interrupt an ongoing self-timer countdown
by pressing the shutter button half way while the self-
timer lamp is flashing. Pressing the shutter button all
the way restarts the countdown from the beginning.
1. The camera performs a 10-second countdown
and then records the first image.
2. The camera prepares to record the next image.
The amount of time required for preparation
depends on the camera’s current “Size” and
“Quality” settings, the type of memory (built-in or
card) you are using for image storage, and
whether or not the flash is charging.
3. After preparation is complete, the indicator “1sec”
appears on the monitor screen, and another
image is recorded one second later.
4. Steps 2 and 3 are repeated once more to record
the third image.
