Used for self-portraits, the self-timer will delay the release of the shutter for approxi-
mately ten seconds after the shutter-release button is pressed. The self-timer drive
mode is set in the main recording menu (p. 36).
With the camera on a tripod, compose the picture as
described in the basic recording operation section (p. 25). Focus lock (p.
26) can be used with off-center subjects. Press the shutter-release button
partway down to lock the exposure and focus (1). Press the shutter-release
button all the way down to begin the countdown (2). Because focus and
exposure are determined when the shutter-release button is pressed, do
not stand in front of the camera when taking a self-timer image. Always
confirm the focus with the focus signals before beginning the countdown
(p. 27).
A countdown timer is displayed on the monitor. During the countdown, the
self-timer lamp on the front of the camera (3) will start to blink and is
accompanied by an audio signal. A few seconds before the
exposure, the self-timer lamp will blink rapidly. The lamp will
glow steadily just before the shutter fires.
To stop the countdown, move the controller up and down or
press the menu button.
The drive mode will be
reset to single-frame
advance after the expo-
sure. The audio signal can
be turned off in section 2
of the setup menu (p. 84).
