SELF-TIMER
You can use the self-timer to take a picture with a delay of either 2 or
12s. This is particularly useful for group photographs, where you want
to appear in the picture yourself or if you want to avoid the picture
being out of focus due to camera shake when releasing the shutter. In
such cases we recommend that the camera is placed on a tripod.
Setting:
1.
Press left / on the direction pad (25)
• The corresponding sub-menu appears.
2.
Set the desired delay time by pressing up / down / left on the
direction pad or using the thumb wheel (23)
3.
Press the
MENU/SET
button (15)or the shutter button (8) to
save the setting
Operation:
Push the shutter button (8) all the way down to take the picture
• The countdown is indicated by the flashing self timer LED (2):
– 12s delay time: Slowly at first, faster for the last 2s
– 2s delay time: As described above for the last 2s
• The remaining time is counted down in the monitor.
Notes:
• A delay time in progress can be restarted at any time by pressing
the shutter button again.
• The only way to cancel a delay time in progress is to turn off the
camera or select a dierent exposure mode.
• It is only ever possible to take single pictures when the self timer is
active, i.e. picture series and automatic bracketing cannot be
combined with self timer mode.
• In self timer mode, the focus and exposure are not set when the
shutter button reaches its pressure point, but immediately before
the picture is taken.
