TIP: If you want to include yourself in the picture, place the camera on a tripod or
stable surface, then press the Shutter button all the way down. The camera locks
focus and exposure just before the end of the countdown, allowing you time to place
yourself in the scene.
The Self-Timer setting resets to Off after the image is taken.
Using the Burst setting
Burst allows you to take up to two (M440 series) or three (M630/M540 series) pictures
as quickly as possible when you press and hold the Shutter button all the way down.

taken, each image appears one at a time in Instant Review (see “
Instant Review”
on page 9). You can delete the entire burst sequence in Instant Review. To delete
individual images, see “
Deleting images” on page 18.
The
Burst setting remains in effect until it is changed again, or until it resets to the
default Off setting when you turn off the camera.
