Using the Self-Timer
The self-timer lamp on the front of the
camera will blink immediately before the
picture is taken. If the two-second timer
is selected, the self-timer lamp will blink as
the timer counts down.
Intelligent Face Detection
Because it ensures that the faces of portrait
subjects will be in focus, Intelligent Face Detection
(pg. 21) is recommended when using the self-timer
for group portraits or self-portraits. To use the self-
timer with Intelligent Face Detection, set the timer
as described in Step 1 and then press the shutter
button all the way down to start the timer. The
camera will detect faces while the timer is counting
down and adjust focus and exposure immediately
before the shutter is released. Be careful not to
move until the picture has been recorded.
