Taking Pictures with
the Self-timer
1 Press 2 [ ] to select the
self-timer mode.
: Self-timer set to 10 seconds
;
: Self-timer set to 2 seconds
;
No display: canceled
2 Press the shutter button halfway
to focus and then press it fully to
take the picture.
A: Press the shutter button halfway to
focus.
B: Press the shutter button fully to take
the picture.
The self-timer indicator
C blinks and the
shutter is activated
after 10 seconds (or
2 seconds).
If you press [MENU/SET] while the
self-timer is set, the self-timer setting is
canceled.
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 (P82) to allow the camera to focus
on the subject.
In simple mode [ ], the self-timer is fixed
to 10 seconds.
When you set the self-timer in burst mode,
the camera starts taking a picture 2 or
10 seconds after the shutter button is
pressed. The number of pictures taken at
one time is fixed to 3.
We recommend using a tripod when
recording with the self-timer. (When you
use a tripod, make sure the tripod is stable
when the camera is attached to it.)
