Sequential shooting/using the self timer
The camera will take sequential photos while the shutter button is pressed all the way
down. Alternatively, the self-timer can be used for self- or group-portraits or to reduce
camera shake when the camera is mounted on a tripod or otherwise fi xed in place.

$ Notes
• To cancel the activated self-timer, press the jY button.
• During sequential shooting, focus, exposure, and white balance are locked at the fi rst
frame (during [S-AF], [MF]).
• Bracketing is available only when [Bracketing] (P. 51) is selected.
# Cautions
• During sequential shooting, if the battery check blinks due to low battery, the camera
stops shooting and starts saving the pictures you have taken on the card. The camera
may not save all of the pictures depending on how much battery power remains.
• Fix the camera securely on a tripod for self-timer shooting.
• If you stand in front of the camera to press the shutter button halfway when using the self-
timer, the photograph may be out of focus.
