Putting Yourself in the Picture
The Self Timer creates a 10-second delay between the time you press the
Shutter button and the time the picture is taken.
1 In any Still mode, press the Self Timer/Burst
button.
2 Place the camera on a flat surface or use a
tripod.
3 Compose the scene. Then press the Shutter
button half-way and hold to set the
exposure and focus, then press the rest of
the way down. Move so that you are in the
scene.
The Self Timer icon appears in the
status area and blinks during the timer
countdown.
! The Self Timer light blinks slowly for 8 seconds (then quickly for 2
seconds) before the picture is taken. The camera "clicks" when the
picture is captured. To turn off the shutter sound, see page 70.
! The Self Timer turns off after you take the picture or if you change
modes.
! To cancel the Self Timer countdown before the picture is taken, press
the Self Timer button. (The Self Timer setting remains active.)
! To turn off the Self Timer, press the Self Timer button twice.
