Using the Self-Timer
The camera offers a “baby auto release timer” for taking pictures of babies, a ten-second timer (pg. 41)
that allows photographers to appear in their own photographs, and a two-second timer (pg. 41) that
can be used to avoid blur caused by the camera moving when the shutter button is pressed.

The shutter is released
automatically when the
camera detects a human
portrait subject facing the
camera. Use for portraits of
babies.

a picture taken with the auto release timer is
displayed, the camera can automatically select faces
for red-eye removal (pg. 89), playback zoom (pg. 43),
slide shows (pg. 86), printing (pg. 59), and cropping
(pg. 90).
