For normal operation I would suggest making this value 2
seconds unless you are doing “selfies” and want to appear in
the image yourself if using a tripod to shoot the image.
Self timer is found in the REC Setup menu tab, page 3/7.
Set it to the 2 second option.
The self timer will operate when the camera drive mode is
set to the self timer which we will see in a later section of
this guide book.
We are at this point just setting the default time that the self
timer will delay the process of taking the image when the
shutter button is depressed or the camera is used with an
external remote wired cable plugged into the “remote”
socket on the camera.
Using the self timer when the camera is on a tripod is a good
way of preventing any vibration caused when pressing the
camera shutter button. This vibration cam cause loss of
image sharpness.
I also recommend setting one of the Function buttons, Fn2
to select the AF focus area when the single area auto focus
mode is selected. This makes it very convenient to make
selection of the size and position of the AF (autofocus) area.
Begin by
selecting the
Fn Button Set
option from
the Custom
Setup menu on
page 7/9.
