Taking self-timer pictures

You can also take still pictures using the

Self-Timer

settings in

the

Capture

menu.

1

Set

Self-Timer

to either

On

or

On - 2 shots

in the

Capture

menu. See

Using the capture menu

on page 35, and then

see

Self-timer

on page 38.

2

Secure the camera to a tripod or set it on a stable surface.

3

Frame the subject for your picture in the viewfinder (see

page 28).

4

Press the

Shutter

button halfway down. The camera

measures and then locks the focus and exposure. The

camera will hold these settings for the 10 seconds until it

takes the picture.

NOTE

If you immediately press the

Shutter

button all the way

down instead, the camera locks focus and exposure just

before the end of the 10-second countdown. This is useful

when one or more subjects will be entering the picture

during the 10-second countdown period.

5

Press the

Shutter

button all the way down. If

Live View

is on,

a 10-second countdown appears on the Image Display. The

Self-Timer light on the front of the camera blinks slowly for 7

seconds and then quickly for the final 3 seconds before the

camera takes the picture. If you set

Self-Timer

to

On - 2

shots

, the Self-Timer light blinks for a few more seconds until

the second picture is taken.
