USING THE SELF-TIMER
This feature allows you to get into your own picture by allow-
ing the camera to take the picture
by
itself.
1. Place the camera on a tripod or other firm support.
2. Slide the Self-Timer Switch fully in the direction of the
arrow and the Self-Timer LED on the front of the camera
blinks. (Fig. 27-A,
27-8)
The picture will be taken in appro-
ximately 10d seconds.
Two
seconds before the Shutter is
released, the flashing
frequency
of the
LED
will increase,
giving you or your
subject
a visual signal that the shutter is
about to be released.
