Using The Self-Timer Settings - HP Photosmart R717 User Manual

Using the Self-Timer Settings

1. Secure the camera to a tripod or set it on a stable
surface.
2. Press the Self-Timer/Burst
or Self-Timer - 2 Shots
Display.
3. Frame the subject in either the viewfinder or in Live View
(see Using Live View on page 37).
4. The next steps depend on whether you are capturing one
or two still pictures, or are recording a video clip.
For Still Pictures:
a. Press the Shutter button halfway down. The camera
measures and then locks the focus and exposure. The
camera will hold these settings until it takes the picture.
b. Press the Shutter button all the way down. A
countdown appears on the screen and the Self-Timer/
Focus Assist light blinks for 10 seconds before the
camera takes the picture. If you set the camera to Self-
Timer - 2 Shots, after the first picture is taken, the Self-
Timer/Focus Assist light blinks for a few more seconds
until the second picture is taken.
TIP: If you immediately press the Shutter button all the way
down, the camera will lock focus and exposure just
before the end of the 10-second countdown. This is useful
when one or more subjects will be entering the picture
during the 10-second countdown period.
TIP: You cannot record audio with a still picture when using
the self-timer settings, but you can add an audio clip later
(see Record Audio on page 103).
