Using the Self-Timer
The camera will start the timer ten or two sec-
onds after the shutter button is pressed all the
way down.
1
Focus.
Press the shutter button
halfway to focus.
3
Caution
Stand behind the camera when using the shutter
button. Standing in front of the lens can interfere
with focus and exposure.
2
Start the timer.
Press the shutter but-
ton the rest of the way
down to start the timer.
The display in the moni-
tor shows the number of
seconds remaining until
the shutter is released.
The self-timer lamp on the front of the camera will
blink immediately before the picture is taken. If
the two-second timer is selected, the self-timer
lamp will blink as the timer counts down.
Intelligent Face Detection
Because it ensures that the faces of portrait subjects
will be in focus, Intelligent Face Detection (pg. 28) is
recommended when using the self-timer for group
portraits or self-portraits. To use the self-timer with
Intelligent Face Detection, turn Intelligent Face De-
tection on, set the timer as described in Step 1, and
then press the shutter button all the way down to
start the timer. The camera will detect faces while
the timer is counting down and adjust focus and ex-
posure immediately before the shutter is released.
