This is useful when you want to include yourself in the picture when recording.
1. Press the self-timer button.
• SELF TIMER appears in the display.
2 Press the start/stop button.
• The camera starts to record after a 10 second countdown period (or after 2
seconds when you use the remote control). The time remaining counts down
in the display (e.g. "5 sec").
• SELF TIMER disappears from the display when recording begins.
3. Press the start/stop button to end recording.
Notes:
• Initially the tally lamp flashes once a second, then just before recording starts it
flashes more quickly for a few seconds before the camera starts to record.
• To cancel the self-timer press the self-timer button once more before recording.
Once the countdown has begun, press the self-timer button to turn it off.
• Cancel the self-timer at any stage by switching the power off or turning the
standby lever to LOCK.
• You cannot use the self-timer with the Negative-Positive Conversion program.
• In photo mode, set the self-timer in exactly the same way. The camera
automatically adjusts the focus and exposure 2 seconds before the countdown is
complete. The green
44
mark is also displayed at this time.
