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 

(P88)

 to allow the camera to focus on the subject.

We recommend using a tripod when recording with the self-timer.
