Taking Pictures with the Self-timer
Note
When using a tripod etc., setting the self-timer to 2 seconds is a convenient way to avoid the
jitter caused by pressing the shutter button.
When you press the shutter button once fully, the subject is automatically focused just before
recording. In dark places, the self-timer indicator will blink and then may turn on brightly
operating as an AF assist lamp (P104) to allow the camera to focus on the subject.
We recommend using a tripod when recording with the self-timer.
The number of pictures which can be taken in [BURST] is fixed to 3.
The number of pictures which can be taken in [FLASH BURST] in Scene Mode is fixed to 5.
Self-timer cannot be set to 10 seconds in [SELF PORTRAIT] in Scene Mode.
Self-timer cannot be used while in [HI-SPEED BURST] in Scene Mode.
