•

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 (P77) to allow the camera to focus 
on the subject.

• In simple mode [

], the self-timer is fixed 

to 10 seconds.

• In [SELF PORTRAIT] (P52) in scene 

mode, the self-timer is fixed to 2 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.)

• The self-timer cannot be used in 

[UNDERWATER] in scene mode.
