This mode is used not only for close-up pictures, but also
for distant scenic shots. When taking a scenic picture or a
low-light evening scene, using a slow shutter speed and
the self timer can give a sharp, vibration-free photograph,
if the camera is mounted on a tripod.

1. Select recording mode by sliding the Mode switch on

the back of the camera to the REC position.

2. Select the self-timer mode by pressing the ( )/+ button

on top of the digital camera. The self-timer symbol ( )
will show on the back LCD panel. This mode will be
canceled by pressing the (SELF)/+ button again,
POWER button, or sliding the mode switch to Play
mode.

3. Compose the picture through optical viewfinder or LCD

panel on a steady support or fixed on a tripod attached
to the tripod socket.

4. Press the shutter release button and the self-timer will

start working. A red LED light on the front of the
camera will be visible for approximately seven seconds,
and then blink for about three seconds to indicate that
the shutter is to be released automatically.

5. After releasing shutter, the Self-Timer mode will be

canceled.

•

If you want to cancel the self-timer once it started, press
the (SELF)/+ button again or press the power button.

•

The self-timer can work together with auto flash, flash
on, or flash off modes.

The brightness of the LCD monitor can be adjusted
by rotating the bright dial (

) on the bottom of the

digital camera. To adjust the setting, make sure that
the LCD is turned on (use the LCD button on the top
of the camera) and turn the dial using a finger.
