•  The self-timer indicator A blinks and the shutter 
goes off after 10 seconds (or 2 seconds).
•  If you press [MENU/SET] when the self-timer is 
being set, the self-timer setting is cancelled.
 Note
•  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.
•  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 for focusing on the subject.

•  The number of pictures which can be taken in [BURST] is fi xed to 3.
•  Self-timer cannot be set to 2 seconds in Intelligent Auto Mode.
