Taking Pictures with the Self-timer
The self-timer is useful for self-portraits or reducing the effects of camera shake
that occur when the shutter-release button is pressed. When using the self-timer,
pictures are taken 10 seconds after the shutter-release button is pressed. When
using the self-timer, use of a tripod is recommended. Set Vibration reduction
(A 113) in the setup menu (A 103) to Off when using a tripod.
1 Press n (self-timer) on the multi selector.
The self-timer menu is displayed.
2 Press the multi selector H or I to select ON,
and press the k button.
The self-timer icon (n 10) is displayed.
If a setting is not applied by pressing the k button
within a few seconds, the selection is cancelled.
3 Frame the picture and press the
shutter-release button halfway.
Focus and exposure are set.
4 Press the shutter-release button the
rest of the way down.
The self-timer starts and the number of seconds
remaining until the shutter is released is
displayed in the monitor. The self-timer lamp
blinks while the timer is counting down. About
one second before the shutter is released, the
lamp stops blinking and glows steadily.
When the shutter is released, the self-timer is set
to OFF.
To stop the timer before a picture is taken, press
the shutter-release button again.
