The camera is equipped with a ten-second and two-second timer for self-portraits. 
This feature is useful for reducing the effects of camera shake that occurs when 
pressing the shutter-release button.

When using the self-timer, use of a tripod is recommended. Set 

reduction (A 126) to Off in the setup menu (A 117) when using a tripod to 
stabilize the camera during shooting.

Press 

n (self-timer).

The self-timer menu is displayed.

Press the multi selector 

H or I to choose 10

s or 2 s and press the k button.

 s (ten seconds): Use on important occasions, such as 

weddings

 s (two seconds): Use to prevent camera shake

The mode selected for self-timer is displayed.
If a setting is not applied by pressing the 

k button 

within a few seconds, the selection will be cancelled.

Frame the picture and press the 
shutter-release button halfway.

Focus and exposure will be set.

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 stops blinking and glows 
steadily.
When the shutter is released, the self-timer will 
be set to k.
To stop the timer before a picture is taken, press 
the shutter-release button again.
