Using the Self-Timer
Use the timer for group- or self-portraits, to prevent blur caused by
camera shake, or to release the shutter automatically when selected
conditions are met. To use the self-timer, press the selector left when
the camera is in shooting mode. The options shown below will be dis-
played; press the selector up or down to highlight an option and press
MENU/OK to select.

The shutter is released two or ten seconds after the shutter button is pressed. Press the shut-
ter button halfway to focus, then press it the rest of the way down to start the timer. The

display in the monitor shows the number of seconds remaining until the timer is released;
immediately before the shutter is released, the self-timer lamp on the front of the camera will
blink (if the two-second timer is selected, the lamp will blink as the timer counts down). Use
the two-second timer to reduce blur caused by the camera moving when the shutter button

The camera detects faces (P 86) and releases the shutter when any subject smiles. The camera
o o SMILE SMILE may fail to detect subjects who are not facing the camera or whose faces are obscured by
hair or other objects.
The camera starts the timer when it detects two portrait subjects close together. When
prompted to choose how close together the subjects must be before the timer starts, high-
light the desired option and press MENU/OK (the required degree of closeness is shown by
a a BUDDY BUDDY
heart icons in the shooting display: the more hearts, the closer together the subjects must
be). Choose from LV.1 (NEAR), LV.2 (CLOSE UP), or LV.3 (SUPER CLOSE). The timer starts
only when the subjects are suffi ciently close together; the shutter is released one second later.
