3.1.8 Using the self-timer
The self-timer can be used in situations such as group shots. When using this option, you
should either mount the camera on a tripod (recommended) or rest it on a flat surface.
The self-timer duration can be set as 10 seconds or 5 seconds. After the self-timer is set, the
shutter automatically releases after 10 seconds or 5 seconds. The self-timer LED starts
blinking relatively slow for the first 7 seconds or the first 2 seconds and then blinking rapidly
for the last 3 seconds.
1. Secure the camera to a tripod or place it on a stable surface.
2. Slide the lens cover to turn on the camera.
3. Set the [Scene] mode in the [Capture] menu based on the desired scenery.
(Auto / Sports / Night Scene / Portrait / Landscape / Backlight)
4. Toggle the [
] button until the desired self-timer mode appears on the LCD monitor.
5. Compose your image.
6. Press the shutter button.
•
To cancel the self-timer photography at any time, press the [
] button to disrupt the
sequence.
•
After one shot is taken, the self-timer will be turned to OFF.
3.1.9 Using the digital zoom function
Using the digital zoom, images appear closer. Whereas digital zoom is a compelling feature,
the more an image is enlarged (zoomed), the more pixelated (grainier) the image will appear.

(Auto / Sports / Night Scene / Portrait / Landscape / Backlight)
2. Press the [
] button to activate the zoom function.

The digital magnification ranges from 1X to 2X to 4X.
•
To exit the digital zoom, press the [
] button again and return to the capture sta-
tus.
3. Press the shutter button to capture a zoomed image.
•
You can only set the digital zoom at the resolution of 2560 x 1920 pixels. The digital zoom
is not available at the resolution of 3072 x 2304 pixels, 2048 x 1536 pixels, 1280 x 960 pix-
els and 640 x 480 pixels.
