Self-timer

If you press

OK

when the

Self-Timer

option is highlighted in the

Capture

menu, the

Self-Timer

sub-menu

displays. This sub-menu allows you
to turn the self-timer on and off.
When you set

Self-Timer

to either

On

or

On - 2 shots

, the camera will take

a picture 10 seconds after you press the

Shutter

button all the

way down. If you set S

elf-Timer

to

On - 2 shots

, the camera

will also take a second picture 3 seconds after the first picture
is taken.

Self-Timer

is good for situations where you need to minimize

camera shake. For example, keeping the camera steady on a
tripod for a long exposure is easier if you use

Self-Timer

.

You can also use

Self-Timer

when recording video clips. The

camera will start recording video 10 seconds after you press
the

Video

button. However, with the

On - 2 shots

setting, the

camera only records one video clip.

The default

Self-Timer

setting is

Off

. The

Self-Timer

setting

resets to

Off

after each picture is captured or video clip is

recorded, and when you turn the camera off. For information
on using

Self-Timer

, see

Taking self-timer pictures

on page 25,

or

Recording video clips

on page 24.
