Taking Pictures with the Self-timer
1 Switch the self-timer setting. 
: Self-timer set to 10 seconds
;
: Self-timer set to 2 seconds
;
No display (cancelled)
2 Focus on the subject to take the 
picture. 
• If you press the [MENU] button when 
the self-timer is set, the self-timer 
setting is cancelled.
• 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.
• The self-timer indicator 
blinks and the shutter is 
activated after 10 seconds 
(or 2 seconds). 
• 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 
(P72) for focusing on the subject.
• When you set the self-timer in the burst 
mode, the camera starts taking a picture
2 or 10 seconds after the shutter button is 
pressed. The number of pictures taken at 
a time is fixed to 3.
• We recommend using a tripod when 
setting the self-timer.
