Self-timer

Shoots an image using the self-timer after a designated number of seconds have elapsed since the SHUTTER/MOVIE button was pressed. Use the 5-second/10-second self-timer when you are going to be in the picture, and use the 2-second self-timer to reduce camera-shake caused by pressing the SHUTTER/MOVIE button.

  1. MENU (Camera Settings1) → [Drive Mode][Self-timer].
  2. Select the desired mode using the right/left button.
  3. Adjust the focus and shoot the image.
    A beep sounds, and a picture is taken after the designated number of seconds has elapsed.
