Note that the timer may not start or a photograph may not be
taken if the camera is unable to focus or in other situations in
which the shutter can not be released. Turning the camera off
cancels the self-timer.
Press the shutter-release button half-
way to focus, and then press the but-
ton the rest of the way down. The self-
timer lamp will start to flash and a
beep will begin to sound. Two sec-
onds before the photo is taken, the
lamp will stop flashing and the beep-
ing will become more rapid.
A Movie Mode
To record movies using the self-timer, select advanced movie mode
and use the movie-record button to start the timer. Movie recording
ends when the movie-record button is pressed a second time.
A Raising the Flash
When using the built-in flash, press the flash pop-up button to raise the
flash before shooting. Shooting will be interrupted if the flash is raised
while the timer is counting down.
