Taking Pictures With the Timer
Setting the timer creates a 10-second delay between 
the time you press the shutter button and the actual 
image capture. This allows you to take a picture of yourself. 
Follow these steps to take a picture with the timer:
1
Secure the camera on a flat surface or on a tripod and 
remove the lens cover. (See page A-2 for information on 
attaching the camera to a tripod.)
2
Slide down the camera dial lock and turn the camera dial 
to 
On
 or 
View
. Wait until the status light turns green.
3
Press the timer button. The timer icon 
 appears on 
the display panel.
4
Press the shutter button. The timer icon and the red 
timer light on the front of the camera flash slowly for 
8 seconds. Then they flash rapidly for 2 seconds before 
the shutter is released.
The camera beeps when the image is captured. The 
status light on the back of the camera flashes red as 
PhotoPC 750Z processes the image. When the status 
light stops flashing and turns green, you can take 
another picture. 
5
To turn off the timer, press the timer button again or 
turn off the camera.
Using Macro Mode to Take Close-ups
With the LCD screen, you can use the camera’s macro mode 
to take pictures as close as 8 inches (20 cm). Follow these 
steps:
1
Turn the camera dial to the 
View
 position. You see a 
live preview on the LCD screen.
