Taking Pictures with the Self-Timer
The self-timer is useful for taking pictures of yourself, such as in group souvenir shots,
or if you want to reduce camera shake when you press the shutter-release button. You
can select a two-second or ten-second timer.
When using the self-timer, use of a tripod is recommended. When the camera is
stabilized with a tripod, set

in the setup menu
(

•10s (ten seconds): suitable for memorial portraits.
•2s (two seconds): suitable for preventing camera shake.
The mode selected for self-timer is displayed.
If a setting is not applied by pressing the k button
within a few seconds, the selection will be cancelled.

shutter-release button halfway.

The self-timer starts, and the number of

remains lit until the shutter is released.
When the shutter is released, the self-timer
turns OFF.
To stop the timer before a picture is taken,
