Timer
The Timer icon allows you to specify the period of time that the camera
waits to take a picture after you press the shutter button. This allows
you to set the timer and then move in front of the camera so you can be
in the picture.
When you use the MODE button to select the Timer icon, the icon
flashes. Press the SELECT button to specify “timer on” or “timer off.”
The Timer icon flashes quickly (1/4 second on, 1/4 second off) for
“timer on” and slowly (1/2 second on, 1/2 second off) for “timer off.”
When “timer on” is specified, the Timer icon flashes quickly until the
shutter button is pressed, then it flashes slowly. The Timer icon does
not flash unless it is selected.
When the timer is being selected and you use the MODE button to
advance to the Timer icon, the icon flashes slowly so you can
make a selection.
When the camera is counting down, you can press the MODE button to
cancel the countdown, but the timer is still available. Any other button
presses during the countdown is ignored.
The selected timer setting is canceled in the following cases:
– After an image has been taken.
– When the camera is turned off.
– When the camera enters the power save mode.
