Self-Timer - Leica Q Instructions Manual

SELF-TIMER

You can use the self-timer to take a picture with a delay of either 2
or 12s. This is particularly useful for group photographs, where you
want to appear in the picture yourself or if you want to avoid the
picture being out of focus due to camera shake when releasing the
shutter. In such cases we recommend that the camera is placed on
a tripod.
Setting the function
This menu option can be opened and set in two ways, either
directly with the button (as long as it has been configured for
FN
this function, see page 157) or using menu control.

The remaining time is counted down on the monitor.
Notes:
• A delay time in progress can be interrupted at any time by
pressing the shutter button.
• It is only ever possible to take single pictures when the self-timer
(12s delay time),
is active, i.e. picture series, automatic bracketing, and time
lapse pictures cannot be combined with self-timer mode.
• In self-timer mode, the focus and exposure are not set when the
shutter button or thumb button reaches its pressure point, but
immediately before the picture is taken.
