• When using a tripod or in other cases,
setting the self-timer to 2 seconds is a
convenient way to avoid the jitter caused
by pressing the shutter button.
• The self-timer indicator 1
blinks and the shutter is
activated after 10 seconds
(or 2 seconds).
• When you press the button
fully with one stroke, the subject is
automatically focused just before the
recording. In dark places, the self-timer
indicator blinks and then it may turn on
brightly to work as the AF assist lamp
(P74) for focusing on the subject.
• When you set the self-timer in the burst
mode, the camera starts taking a picture
2 or 10 seconds after the shutter button is
pressed. The number of pictures taken at
a time is fixed to 3.
• We recommend using a tripod when
recording with the self-timer.
