Using the Self-Timer
The self-timer lamp on the front of the camera will blink
immediately before the picture is taken. If the two-sec-
ond timer is selected, the self-timer lamp will blink as the
timer counts down.
Intelligent Face Detection (
D
)
Because it ensures that the faces of portrait subjects will be in focus, Intelligent Face Detection (pg. 67) is recom-
mended when using the self-timer for group portraits or self-portraits. To use the self-timer with Intelligent Face
Detection, turn Intelligent Face Detection on, set the timer as described in Step 1, and then press the shutter
button all the way down to start the timer. The camera will detect faces while the timer is counting down and
adjust focus and exposure immediately before the shutter is released. Be careful not to move until the picture
has been recorded.

Note
The self-timer turns off automatically when the picture is taken, a diff erent shooting mode is selected, playback
mode is selected, or the camera is turned off .
