Using the Self-Timer

You can set the Self-timer to shoot after

either two or ten seconds. If the person who

takes the photo wants to be in the still image

as well, it is convenient to use a setting of ten

seconds; a setting of two seconds is useful

for preventing camera shake. Attach a tripod

securely to the tripod mount on the bottom of

the camera.

To shoot with the Self-timer, follow the steps

below.

1. Turn the mode dial to 5

The Self Timer mark appears momen-

cates the number of seconds. In this

case, if you press the shutter button, the

camera will shoot after 10 seconds.

3. Press the shutter button.

The flash begins to blink and the Self-

timer starts. After about ten seconds the
