Using The Self-Timer - Ricoh Caplio RR30 Operation Manual

Using the Self-Timer

You can set the Self-timer to shoot after either two or ten seconds. If the person who takes the photo
wants to be in the still image as well, it is convenient to use a setting of ten seconds; a setting of two
seconds is useful for preventing camera shake. Attach a tripod securely to the tripod mount on the
bottom of the camera.
To shoot with the Self-timer, follow the steps
below.
