Taking Pictures with the Self-timer
Note
•
When using a tripod etc., setting the Self-timer to 2 seconds is a convenient way to avoid the
jitter caused by pressing the shutter button.
• When you press the shutter button once fully, the subject is automatically focused just before
recording. In dark places, the Self-timer indicator will blink and then may turn on brightly
operating as an AF Assist Lamp (P147) to allow the camera to focus on the subject.
• We recommend using a tripod when recording with the Self-timer.
• The number of pictures which can be taken in [BURST] is fixed to 3.
• The number of pictures which can be taken in [FLASH BURST] (P101) in Scene Mode is fixed
to 5.
