Taking Pictures with the Self-Timer
Note
• When using a tripod etc., setting the Self-Timer to 2 seconds is a convenient way to avoid the
jitter caused by pressing the shutter button.
• When you press the shutter button once fully, the subject is automatically focused just before
recording. In dark places, the Self-Timer indicator will blink and then may turn on brightly
operating as an AF assist lamp
to allow the camera to focus on the subject.
• We recommend using a tripod when recording with the Self-Timer.
• The number of pictures which can be taken in Burst Mode is fixed to 3.
• The number of pictures which can be taken in [FLASH BURST]
is fixed to 5.

2 seconds when [10S/3PICTURES] is selected.
