NOTE
If you immediately press the

when one or more subjects will be entering the picture
during the 10-second countdown period.

Shutter
button all the way down. If

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.
