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 (P68) to allow the camera to focus 
on the subject.
• In simple mode [
], the self-timer is fixed 
to 10 seconds.
• In [SELF PORTRAIT] (P49) 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 [UNDER 
WATER] (P53) in scene mode.
