Change [Delay]/[Shots]
The self-timer sound will behave
as follows.
- When a delay time of over 2
seconds is set, the self-timer
will start playing 2 seconds
before the shutter releases.
- If multiple shots have been
specified for the [Shots] option, the sound will play for
the first shot only.
If the [Shots] option is set to 2 or more shots, the
following occurs.
- The exposure and white balance are locked at the
settings selected for the first shot.
- If the flash is used, the interval between shots
lengthens because the flash must charge.
- The interval between shots may lengthen when the
built-in memory of the camera fills.
- Shooting will automatically cease if the memory card
becomes full.
