Customizing the Self-Timer

Follow step 2 in “Using the Self-Timer”
(

) to shoot.

For movies shot using the self-timer, [Delay] represents the delay
before recording begins, but the [Shots] setting has no effect.

When you specify multiple shots, image brightness and white balance are
determined by the first shot. More time is required between shots when the

flash fires or when you have specified to take many shots. Shooting will stop
automatically when the memory card becomes full.

When a delay longer than two seconds is specified, two seconds before the
shot, the lamp blinking and self-timer sound will speed up. (The lamp will
remain lit in case the flash fires.)
