Take the picture.
•
The picture-taking procedure is the
same as with the <

mode on page 22.

Look through the viewfinder and
press the shutter button fully to start
the self-timer.
When you press the shutter button
fully, the beeper will sound and the
picture will be taken 10 sec. later.
During the first 8 sec., the beeper
beeps slowly and the self-timer lamp
blinks slowly.
During the final 2 sec., the beeper
beeps quickly and the self-timer lamp
blinks quickly.
Also, the self-timer display on the
LCD panel counts down in seconds.
• To cancel the self-timer after it starts, press the <
> button again.
• When using the self-timer to take a picture of only yourself, first lock the
focus (
→
page 33) on an object at the same distance where you will be in
the picture.
Do not stand in front of the camera when you start the self-timer. Doing so
will throw off the focus.
