be taken 10 sec. later.
During the first 8 sec., the beeper
beeps slowly and the lamp blinks
slowly.
During the final 2 sec., the beeper
beeps quickly and the lamp stays lit.

panel counts down the seconds until
the image is captured.

start the self-timer. Doing so prevents the camera from focusing on the

When using the self-timer to shoot only yourself, lock the focus (p.63) on
an object at about the same distance as where you will be.
