RECORDING - ADVANCED OPERATION
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
(page 53).
With the camera on a tripod, compose the
picture as described in the basic recording
operation section (page 39).
Press the shutter release button partway
down to lock the exposure and focus.
Press the shutter release button all the
way down to begin the countdown.
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 (page 42).
During the countdown, the self-timer lamp on the front of the camera starts to
blink and is accompanied by an audio signal. A countdown timer is displayed
on the monitor. 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 switch 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 (page 91).
