Using the Self-Timer Settings

1.

Secure the camera to a tripod or set it on a stable 

surface.

2.

Press the 

Self-Timer/Burst

 

 button until 

Self-Timer

 

 or 

Self-Timer - 2 Shots

   appears in the Image 

Display.

3.

Frame the subject in either the viewfinder or in 

Live View 

(see 

Using Live View

 on page 37).

4.

The next steps depend on whether you are capturing one 

or two still pictures, or are recording a video clip.

For Still Pictures:
a.

Press the 

Shutter

 button halfway down. The camera 

measures and then locks the focus and exposure. The 

camera will hold these settings until it takes the picture.

b.

Press the 

Shutter

 button all the way down. A 

countdown appears on the screen and the 

Self-Timer/

Focus Assist 

light blinks for 10 seconds before the 

camera takes the picture. If you set the camera to 

Self-

Timer - 2 Shots

, after the first picture is taken, the 

Self-

Timer/Focus Assist 

light blinks for a few more seconds 

until the second picture is taken.

TIP: 

If you immediately press the 

Shutter

 button all the way 

down, the camera will lock focus and exposure just 

before the end of the 10-second countdown. This is useful 

when one or more subjects will be entering the picture 

during the 10-second countdown period.

TIP: 

You cannot record audio with a still picture when using 

the self-timer settings, but you can add an audio clip later 

(see 

Record Audio

 on page 103).
