A blinks and the shutter
is activated after
10 seconds (or
2 seconds).
• If you press the [MENU] button when
the self-timer is set, the self-timer

• When using a tripod or in other cases,
setting the self-timer to 2 seconds is a
convenient way to avoid the jitter caused
by pressing the shutter button.
• When you press the shutter button fully
with one stroke, the subject is
automatically focused just before the
recording. In dark places, the self-timer
indicator blinks and then it may turn on
brightly to work as the AF assist lamp
(P77) for focusing on the subject.

to 10 seconds. (P34)

mode, the camera starts taking a picture 2
or 10 seconds after the shutter button is
pressed. The number of pictures taken at
a time is fixed to 3.
