When using a tripod etc., 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 once fully, the subject is automatically focused just before

operating as an AF assist lamp (P79) to allow the camera to focus on the subject.
