Self-timer
Used for self-portraits, the self-timer delays the release of the shutter for approximately ten seconds
after the shutter-release button is pressed. The self-timer drive mode is selected with the down key
of the controller (p. 37).
With the camera on a tripod, compose the picture as
described in the basic recording operation section (p. 24).

Press the shutter-release button partway down to lock the
exposure and focus (1). Press the shutter-release button
1
all the way down to begin the countdown (2). Because
focus and exposure are determined when the shutter-
release button is pressed, do not stand in front of the
camera when taking a self-timer image. Always confirm
the focus with the focus signals before beginning the
countdown (p. 27).
Self-timer
During the countdown, the self-timer lamp on the front of
lamp
the camera starts to blink and is accompanied by an
audio signal. A countdown timer is displayed on the moni-
tor. A few seconds before the exposure, the self-timer
lamp blinks rapidly. The lamp glows steadily just before
the shutter fires.
To stop the countdown, press the zoom lever or menu
button. The drive mode resets to single-frame advance
after the exposure. The audio signal can be turned off in
section 2 of the setup menu (p. 72).
38 Recording - advanced operation
Continuous advance
The continuous advance drive mode takes up to four images when the shutter-release button is
pressed and held. With the image-size setting of 2560 x 1920, the maximum rate of capture is 1.6
fps. The continuous advance drive mode is selected with the down key of the controller (p. 37).
Compose the picture as described in the basic recording
operation section (p. 24). Press the shutter-release button
partway down to lock the exposure and focus for the
series (1). Press and hold the shutter-release button all the
way down (2) to begin taking pictures. When the shutter-
release button is pressed and held, the camera begins
recording images until the maximum number has been
taken or the shutter button is released. The frame counter
is adjusted after the series has been taken.
The built-in flash can be used, but the rate of capture is reduced because the flash must recharge
between frames. Date imprinting (p. 50) also reduces the rate of capture.
