• The self-timer indicator
blinks and the
C
shutter is activated after
10 seconds (or 2
seconds).
• If you press [MENU/
SET] when the self-timer is set, the self-
timer setting is canceled.
• When using a tripod or in other cases,
setting the self-timer to 2 seconds is a
convenient way to stabilize the jitter
caused by pressing the shutter button.
• When you press the button fully with one
stroke, the subject is automatically
focused just before the recording. In dark
places, the self-timer indicator blinks and
then it may turn on brightly to work as the
AF assist lamp (P90) for focusing on the
subject.
• When you set the self-timer in burst mode,
the camera starts taking a picture 2 or 10
seconds after the shutter button is
pressed. The number of pictures taken at
one time is fixed to 3.
• We recommend using a tripod when
setting the self-timer. (When using a
tripod, be sure to confirm that the tripod is
stable when this unit is attached.)
• The self-timer is fixed at 2 seconds when
you are using [SELF PORTRAIT] in scene
mode (P64).
