Taking Pictures with the Self-timer
The camera is equipped with a ten-second and two-second timer for self-portraits.
When using the self-timer, use of a tripod is recommended.
1 Press n (self-timer).
The self-timer menu is displayed.
2 Use the multi selector to choose 10 s or 2 s
and press k.
10 s (ten seconds): Suited for important occasions
(such as weddings)
2 s (two seconds): Suited for preventing camera shake
The mode selected for self-timer is displayed.
If a setting is not applied by pressing k within a few seconds, the selection will be
cancelled.
3 Frame the picture and press the
shutter-release button halfway.
Focus and exposure will be set.
4 Press the shutter-release button the
rest of the way down.
The self-timer starts, and the number of
seconds remaining before 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 remains lit and stops
blinking.
To stop the timer before a picture is taken, press
the shutter-release button again.
