SELF-TIMER
You can use the self-timer to take a picture with a delay of either 2 or
12s. This is particularly useful for group photographs, where you want
to appear in the picture yourself or if you want to avoid the picture be-
ing out of focus due to camera shake when releasing the shutter. We
recommend that the camera is placed on a tripod.
Setting:
1. Press left/ on the cross pad
• The relevant sub-menu appears.
2.
Select the desired delay time by pressing up/down/left on the
cross pad or use the direction buttons
3.

or shutter button to save the setting
Operation:
Push the shutter button all the way down to take the picture
• The countdown is indicated by the flashing self-timer LED:
– 12s delay time: slowly at first, faster for the last 2s
– 2s delay time: As described above for the last 2s
• The remaining time is counted down in the monitor.
Notes:
• A delay time in progress can be restarted at any time by pressing
the shutter button again.
• The only way to cancel a delay time in progress is to turn off the
camera or select a different exposure mode.
• It is only ever possible to take single pictures when the self-timer is
active, i.e. picture series and automatic bracketing cannot be
combined with self-timer mode.
• In self-timer mode, the focus and exposure are not set when the
shutter button reaches its pressure point, but immediately before
the picture is taken.
