Delaying Shutter Release: Choosing a Self-Timer Mode

When the self-timer is on, pictures will not be taken until ten seconds after
the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down, giving you time to
position yourself in front of the camera when taking pictures in which you
want to appear yourself. When taking low-light or close-up shots with the
flash off, the self-timer can be used to prevent pictures from being blurred by
camera movement that occurs when the shutter-release button is pressed.
To use the self-timer:
1
Position the camera
Mount the camera on a tripod (recommended) or rest it on a flat, stable
surface.
2
Turn the self-timer on
The self-timer setting is controlled with the multi selector.
