Taking Pictures with the Self-timer

Switch the self-timer setting.

: Self-timer set to 10 seconds

: Self-timer set to 2 seconds

No display (canceled)

Focus on the subject to take the
picture.

• The self-timer indicator

blinks and the

shutter is activated after
10 seconds (or 2
seconds).

• If you press the [MENU]

button when the self-timer is set, the self-
timer setting is canceled.

• When you press the button fully with one

stroke, the subject is automatically
focused just before the recording. In dark
places, the self-timer indicator blinks and
then it may turn on brightly to work as the
AF assist lamp (P77) for focusing on the
subject.

• The self-timer is fixed at 2 seconds when

you are using [SELF PORTRAIT] in scene
mode (P69).

• When you set the self-timer in the burst

mode, the number of pictures taken at
one time is fixed to 3.

• When using a tripod or in other cases,

setting the self-timer to 2 seconds is a
convenient way to stabilize the jitter
caused by pressing the shutter button.

• We recommend using a tripod when

setting the self-timer. (When using a
tripod, be sure to confirm that the tripod is
stable when this unit is attached.)
