Chapter 2: Taking pictures and recording video clips

Using self-timer mode

Secure the camera to a tripod or set it on a stable surface.

Press the Mode button until the

Self-Timer

icon

appears

in the Status LCD. If

Live View

is on, the icon also appears in

the Image Display.

Frame the subject in the viewfinder.

The next steps depend on whether you are capturing a still

picture or a video clip:

NOTE

The Video/Self-Timer light on the front of the camera

blinks before the camera takes the picture or video clip.

When

capturing:

Procedure

Still

picture

Press the

Shutter

button halfway down for

Focus

Lock

. The camera measures and then locks the

focus and exposure. The camera will hold these

settings until it takes the picture.

Press the

Shutter

button all the way down. A 10-

second countdown appears on the Status LCD.

If you immediately press the

Shutter

button all the way

down without using

Focus Lock

, the camera will lock

focus and exposure just before the end of the 10-

second countdown. This is useful when one or more

subjects will be entering the picture during the

10-second countdown period.
You cannot record audio when using the Self-Timer,

but you can add an audio clip later (see page 51).

Video clip

To start recording, press the

Video

button and

then release it. A 10-second countdown appears

on the Status LCD.

To stop recording the video clip, press the

Video

button again.
