Using the Self-Timer to Avoid Camera Shake

This option delays shutter release until about two seconds after you have

pressed the shutter button. If the camera is unsteady while you are pressing

the shutter button, it will not affect your shot.

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.)
