Taking Photographs—Beyond Point-and-Shoot
Delaying Shutter Release: Self-Timer Mode
When the self-timer is used, the camera will not take a picture until either ten
or three seconds after the shutter-release button is pressed. The ten-second
timer is generally used for photographs in which you wish to appear yourself,
when it gives you time to position yourself in front of the camera after press-
ing the shutter-release button. The three-second timer prevents photographs
from being blurred by camera movement that occurs when the shutter-release
button is pressed. This feature is most useful when taking low-light or close-
up shots with the flash turned off.
To use the self-timer:
1
Position the camera
Mount the camera on a tripod (recommended) or rest it on a flat, stable
surface.
2
Select a self-timer mode
Press the
button until the self-timer icon ( ) is displayed.
