on a stable surface.

(camera measures, then locks the focus and exposure).
The camera will hold these settings until it takes the
picture.
2 Press the Shutter button all the way down. A 10-
second countdown appears on the active display and
the Self-Timer light on the front of the camera blinks for
10 seconds before the camera takes the picture. If you
set SELF-TIMER2 SHOTS, the Self-Timer light blinks for
a few more seconds until the second picture is taken.
NOTE If you immediately press the Shutter button all
the way down without using Focus Lock, the camera
will lock 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.
You cannot record audio when using the Self-Timer, but
you can add an audio clip later (see page 64).
