The Self-Timer
The camera offers a ten-second timer for self-portraits 
and a two-second timer to prevent blur caused by camera 
movement when the shutter-release button is pressed.
 Note
By default, the self-timer is assigned to the 
t (Fn2) button, but it 
can also be assigned to the Fn1 button (the instructions that follow 
assume it is assigned to the 
t button).  The self-timer can only be 
used when assigned to a button (page 119).
 1
 Choose a self-timer mode.
 Press the t button once to 
select the ten-second timer 
and again to select the two-
second timer.  The current 
selection is displayed in the 
picture display.  Pressing the 
button a third time turns the timer off.
 Note
The selected self-timer mode remains in effect until a new 
mode is chosen.
 2
 Start the timer.
Press the shutter-release button to lock focus and 
start the timer.  If the ten-second timer is selected, 
the AF auxiliary light will light.
