SHOOTING A SNAPSHOT
Using the Self-timer to Shoot an Image

away after you press the
shutter button. Instead,
shooting starts after the

AF assist/REC light/self-
timer lamp flashes while
the countdown is being
performed.
• You can interrupt an
ongoing self-timer
countdown by fully
pressing the shutter button
while the self-timer lamp is
flashing.

charge condition.
