Setting the Self-Timer

E
This is useful when you want to include yourself in the picture when recording.
1. Set the camera to record pause mode.
2. Press the self-timer
or
the SELF TIMER button on the wireless controller.
• SELF T. appears in the display.
• To have the subject monitor recording, rotate the LCD panel 180° (p. 26).
3. Press the start/stop button.
• The camera starts to record after a 10-second countdown period (or after two seconds when you use
the wireless controller). The time remaining counts down in the display (e.g. "5 SEC").
• SELF T. disappears from the display when recording begins.
• The tally lamp starts flashing.
4. Press the start/stop button to end recording.
• After recording a still picture for about six seconds, the camera automatically goes into record pause
mode.
Notes:
• Initially the tally lamp flashes once a second, then just before recording it starts flashing more quickly
for a few seconds before the camera starts to record.
• If you have the beep turned on, it sounds each time the tally lamp flashes before recording.
• To cancel the self-timer before the countdown has begun, press the self-timer button again.
• To cancel the self-timer once the countdown has begun, press start/stop or the self-timer button on the
wireless controller or the body of the camera.
• When taking a still photo, set the self-timer and press a PHOTO button on the camera body or the
wireless controller. The camera automatically adjusts the focus two seconds before the countdown is
complete. The F mark flashes white then turns green after the focus and exposure are set. If you are
using the wireless controller, the F mark starts flashing immediately after you press the photo button.
The camcorder takes the picture for approximately six seconds.
