Beyond Point-and-Shoot
The self-timer is used to delay shutter release until either ten or three seconds
after the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down. Use the ten-
second timer for self-portraits, the three second-timer to prevent blurring
caused by the camera moving when the shutter-release button is pressed.

Mount the camera on a tripod (recommended) or rest it on a flat, stable
surface.
2
Turn the self-timer on
Press the button once for a ten-

Start the timer
Press the shutter-release button all
the way down to lock focus on the

dow will blink until one second be-
fore the photo is taken, staying lit
during the final second to warn
that the shutter is about to be re-
leased. To stop the timer before a
picture is taken, press the shutter-
release button.
