You can start shooting with the self-timer when recording a movie.

  1. MENU → (Shooting) → [Shooting Option] → [Self-timer] → [On].
    The [Self-timer] setting screen will be displayed.
  2. Select [On] using the control wheel and set the desired countdown time.

    • Rec Start delay: Sets the count time until the start of movie recording. (3 s/5 s/10 s)

    • Repetition: Sets whether to repeat the movie self-timer. (Repeat/Only Once)

      If you select [Repeat], the movie self-timer will be activated repeatedly even after movie recording is completed. If you select [Only Once], the movie self-timer will be canceled after movie recording is completed, and the camera will return to the normal movie recording standby mode.

  3. Adjust the focus and press the REC (Recording) button.
    A countdown will appear on the recording standby screen, a beep will sound, and recording will start after the designated number of seconds has elapsed.
