Chapter 2: Taking pictures and recording video clips 27
Taking self-timer pictures
You can also take still pictures using the Self-Timer settings in
the Capture menu.
1 Set Self-Timer to either On or On - 2 shots in the Capture
menu. See Using the capture menu on page 35, and then
see Self-timer on page 38.
2 Secure the camera to a tripod or set it on a stable surface.
3 Frame the subject for your picture in the viewfinder (see
page 28).
4 Press the Shutter button halfway down. The camera
measures and then locks the focus and exposure. The
camera will hold these settings for the 10 seconds until it
takes the picture.
NOTE If you immediately press the Shutter button all the way
down instead, the camera locks focus and exposure just
before the end of the 10-second countdown. This is useful
when one or more subjects will be entering the picture
during the 10-second countdown period.
5 Press the Shutter button all the way down. If Live View is on,
a 10-second countdown appears on the Image Display. The
Self-Timer light on the front of the camera blinks slowly for 7
seconds and then quickly for the final 3 seconds before the
camera takes the picture. If you set Self-Timer to On - 2
shots, the Self-Timer light blinks for a few more seconds until
the second picture is taken.
