Using the self-timer
The self-timer duration is 10 seconds. After the activation of the self-timer by
pressing the shutter button, the self-timer lamp starts blinking slowly for 7 sec-
onds and then blinking faster for the rest of 3 seconds. This allows you to get
into the scene when taking group images.
1. Secure the camera to a tripod or place it on a
stable surface.
2. Open the lens cover, turn mode dial to the
mode, and power on the camera.
3. Press the button.
■ The icon appears on the LCD monitor.
4. Compose the picture.
5. Press the shutter button.
■ The self-timer function is activated.
6. After ten seconds, the camera takes an image.
■ To cancel self-timer photography at any time, press the shutter button to
disrupt the sequence.
• Flash setting can only be changed in Land or Sea Exposure modes, not in
External Flash mode. In External Flash exposure mode the camera’s flash will
always fire.
• After one shot is taken, the self-timer mode is turned to off.
Using the flash
The flash is designed to function automatically
when lighting conditions warrant the use of flash.
You can take an image using a flash mode suitable
to your circumstances. If you change the flash
mode, the camera will retain that setting even if the
camera is turned off.
1. Open the lens cover, turn the mode dial to the
mode, and power on
the camera.
2. Press the button located on the rear side of the camera repeatedly until
your desired flash mode appears.
