Using self-timer mode
In Self-Timer mode, the camera takes the picture 10 seconds
after you press the Shutter button all the way down.
1 Secure the camera to a tripod or
set it on a stable surface.
2 Rotate the OFF/Mode selector to
Self-Timer mode.
3 Frame the subject for your picture
in the active display.
4 Press the Shutter button halfway
down. The camera measures and then locks the focus and
exposure. The camera will hold these settings for the 10
seconds until it takes the picture.
NOTE If you immediately press the Shutter button all the way
down instead, the camera locks 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.
5 Press the Shutter button all the way down. A 10-second
countdown appears on the active display. The Self-Timer
light on the front of the camera blinks slowly for 7 seconds
and then quickly for the final 3 seconds before the camera
takes the picture.
After the picture is taken, the image is displayed for several
seconds in Instant Review on the active display. See Using
instant review on page 25.
