Notes
z
Automatic shooting with Self-portrait timer
Point the lens at yourself so your face is reflected in the LCD screen. The camera detects the 
subjects, and then the shutter operates. The camera determines the optimal composition and 
prevents faces from being cut out of the LCD screen.
• You can also shoot a image by pressing the shutter button during this 
operation.

Hints for preventing blur
If your hands or body moves while holding the camera and pressing the shutter button, 
“Camera shake” occurs. Camera shake occurs frequently under low-light or slow shutter 
speed conditions, such as those encountered in 
 (Twilight Portrait) or   (Twilight) mode. 
In such a case, shoot with the below tips in mind.
• Shoot with a 2-second delay self-timer and 
stabilize the camera by holding your arms firmly at 
your side after pressing the shutter button.
• Use a tripod or place the camera on a flat surface 
to hold the camera steady.
