You can set the beep that indicates the subject is in focus and the beep that
indicates the self-timer is operating to On or Off. (→120)

When using the self-timer to photograph only yourself, lock the focus (→62) on
an object at about the same distance as where you will be.

You can use the Remote Switch RS-80N3 (sold separately) or Timer Remote
Controller TC-80N3 (sold separately) to take a picture when you are away from
the camera.

Do not stand in front of the camera when you press the shutter button to start the
self-timer. Doing so prevents the camera from focusing on the subject.
