Taking Pictures with the Self-timer
Note
•
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
to allow the camera to focus on the subject.

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