Taking a Self-Portrait: Using the Self-Timer

When the self-timer is on, pictures are taken ten or three seconds after the
Shutter-release Button is pressed. This can be used to allow you to appear in
your own pictures or to prevent close-up or low-light shots from being
blurred by the camera movement that occurs when the Shutter-release But-
ton is pressed. When using the Self-timer, you should either mount the cam-
era on a tripod (recommended) or rest it on a flat, level surface.
Display Self-timer menu.
Exit menu. Self-timer icon is displayed in
monitor (to exit without setting the self-
timer, wait two seconds without pressing
Button).
