blinks and the

2 seconds).

• When using a tripod etc., setting the
self-timer to 2 seconds is a convenient way
to avoid the jitter caused by pressing the
shutter button.
• When you press the shutter button once
fully, the subject is automatically focused just
before recording. In dark places, the
self-timer indicator will blink and then may
turn on brightly operating as an AF assist
lamp
(P80)
to allow the camera to focus on
the subject.
• The self-timer is fixed to 10 seconds in
simple mode [
] and 2 seconds in
[SELF PORTRAIT]
(P54)
in scene mode.
• When you set the self-timer in burst mode,
the camera starts taking a picture 2 or
10 seconds after the shutter button is
pressed. The number of pictures taken at
one time is fixed to 3.
• The self-timer cannot be set in
[HI-SPEED BURST] in scene mode.
• We recommend using a tripod when
recording with the self-timer.
