Self-Timer

If you set the self-timer ON, the camera waits 12 seconds (starting from the time you
full-press the shutter release button) before taking the picture. This gives you time to
position yourself in the shot. This feature is great for taking group shots, since it allows
you to include yourself in the group.
It is important that you keep the camera absolutely steady when using this feature. Use
of a tripod is recommended.

For details about how to use the menu, see “Using the Shooting
menu” on page 113.

ON:

• Set self-timer on. The ON setting is effective

for the next shot only. When you take the
shot, the camera delays 12 seconds before
shooting. The self-timer setting then
automatically resets to OFF.

OFF:

• This is the default. The camera takes the

picture immediately when you press the
shutter release button.
