Taking Pictures With The Timer - Epson PhotoPC 850Z User Manual

TIPS
When you're using the flash off setting, hold the camera
steady or use a tripod to avoid capturing blurry images.
When you're taking pictures outdoors, make sure the sun is
at your back. In very bright light (at the beach or in snow, for
example), your pictures may come out too light. You can
adjust the exposure manually to reduce the amount of light
entering the camera before you capture images. See
page 5-11 for instructions.

Taking Pictures With the Timer

Setting the timer creates a 10-second delay between
the time you press the shutter button and the actual
image capture. This allows you to take a picture of yourself.
NOTE
You can also combine continuous or interval shooting with the
timer for delayed automatic capture of images. This allows you to
photograph yourself in motion. See Chapter 3 for more
information.
