Used for self-portraits, the self-timer will delay the release of the shutter after the shutter button is
pressed. A ten second and two second self-timer is available.

SELF-TIMER

With the camera on a tripod, compose the picture as described in the basic recording
section (p. 33). Focus lock (p. 34) or the Flex Focus Point (p. 48) can be used with off-
center subjects. Press the shutter-release button partway down (1) to lock the expo-
sure and focus. Press the shutter-release button all the way down (2) to begin the
countdown. Because focus and exposure are determined when the shutter-release
button is pressed, do not stand in front of the camera when taking a self-timer image.
Always confirm the focus with the focus signals before beginning the countdown (p.
35).

Turn the function dial to the drive mode position (1).
Press the function button in the center of the dial (2).
Turn the front control dial to select the self-timer drive
mode (3). Use the rear control dial (4) to switch between
a ten-second and two-second delay. Press the shutter-
release button partway down or press the function but-
ton to set the mode.

Ten-second self-timer

Two-second self-timer

The self-timer lamp on the front of the camera and the audio signals indicate the countdown.The
lamp will glow steadily just before the shutter fires. To stop the countdown, press the menu or func-
tion button or change the position of the flash (lift it or push it down). When using the ten-second self-
timer, the drive mode is reset to single-frame advance after the exposure. The audio signal can be
turned off in section 3 of the setup menu (p. 141).
