Using the Self-Timer

If you want to set a short delay before your picture is taken, you can use the
self-timer. Press the lock release button to free the release mode dial, and rotate
it four clicks clockwise until the self-timer icon appears next to the indicator
line. Press the shutter release to lock focus and start the timer. The self-timer
lamp on the front of the camera will blink and the beeper will sound (unless
you've silenced it in the menus) until the final two seconds, when the lamp
remains on and the beeper beeps more rapidly. The default delay is 10 seconds,
but you can set it to 2, 5, 10, or 20 seconds, as described in Chapter 4.
