Taking a Self-Portrait: Using the Self-Timer
When the self-timer is on, pictures are taken ten seconds after the shutter-release
button is pressed. This can be used to allow you to appear in your own pictures
or to prevent close-up or low-light shots from being blurred by the camera move-
ment that occurs when the shutter-release button is pressed. When using this op-
tion, you should either mount the camera on a tripod (recommended) or rest it
on a flat, level surface.
Focus and exposure lock when the shutter-release button is
pressed. The self-timer lamp on the front of the camera will
blink until one second before the picture is taken, staying lit
during the final second to warn that the shutter is about to be
released.
Stopping the Self-Timer
To stop the timer before the picture is taken, press the shutter-release button.

The self-timer is not available in some shooting modes (Q 28-41).
