Using The Self-Timer With The Gesture Control Function - Nikon Coolpix S6900 Repair Manual

Using the Self-timer with the Gesture
Control Function
The camera can detect your moving hand and automatically capture images.
This function is useful when taking self-portrait pictures or shooting from a
short distance.
1
Open the monitor and face it
forward in the same direction as
the camera lens (A2).
U is displayed in the monitor. U is not
displayed when using a shooting mode that cannot be used with the
gesture control function.
When you take pictures from a short distance, use the camera stand (A3)
and place the camera on a stable surface.
2
Tap U.
When you tap I on the confirmation
dialog, n (palm detection) is displayed in
the monitor.
3
Hold up your hand and align it
with n in the center of the frame.
When the camera detects your palm, n
changes to o, and p (to take a still image)
and q (to record a movie) are displayed in
the monitor.
4
Move your hand to align o with
p or q.
The shutter is released after a countdown
(about three seconds).
Press the b (movie-record) button on the
camera body to end the recording.
See "Extracting and Saving the Desired
Portion of a Recorded Movie" (A85) for
information on how to remove unwanted parts of movies.
When shooting ends, the screen shown in step 3 is displayed again.
