TAKING PHOTOGRAPHS WITH THE SELF-TIMER

shake caused by pressing the shutter button or, in the second
case, for group photographs where you want to appear in the pic-
ture yourself.
Setting and using the function
1. Select the menu item
Drive Mode
, and
2. in the sub-menu the line with the desired delay time.
3. Start delay time with the shutter button

10s of a 12s delay time - to show the progress of the delay
time. The countdown is shown in the monitor at the same

any time by pressing the
