blinks and the shutter

Note
• When using a tripod or in other cases, setting the self-timer to 2 seconds is a convenient way
to stabilize the jitter caused by pressing the shutter button.
When you press the button fully with one stroke, the subject is automatically focused just
before the recording. In dark places, the self-timer indicator blinks and then it may turn on
brightly to work as the AF assist lamp for focusing on the subject.
