Self portrait mode
For taking pictures of yourself easily.
Technique for self portrait mode
Press the shutter button halfway to
focus. The self-timer indicator lights up
when you are brought into focus. Making
sure you hold the camera still, press the
shutter button fully to take the picture.
The subject is not focused when the
self-timer indicator is blinking. Make sure
to press the shutter button halfway again
to focus.
The recorded picture automatically
appears on the LCD monitor for
reviewing (for 10 seconds).
If the picture is blurry due to the slow
shutter speed, we recommend using the
2 second self-timer (P47).
The focus range is about 30 cm to 70 cm
(Wide).
When you select [SELF PORTRAIT],
the zoom magnication is automatically
moved to Wide.
The self-timer can only be set to [OFF]
or [2 SEC.]. If it is set to 2 seconds, this
setting will remain until the camera is
turned off, the scene mode is changed or
the camera is switched to the playback
mode.
