Using the Self-Timer
Note
•
When using a tripod etc., setting the Self-Timer to 2 seconds is a convenient way to avoid the
camera shake 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 flash 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 Continuous Mode is fixed to 3.
• The number of pictures which can be taken in [FLASH BURST] (P101) is fixed to 5.
• Depending on the recording conditions, the recording interval may become more than
2 seconds when [10S/3PICTURES] is selected.
• The flash output may not be constant when [10S/3PICTURES] is selected.
• [10S/3PICTURES] cannot be set when any of Snapshot Mode, Auto Bracket or
[PANORAMA ASSIST], [FLASH BURST] or [PHOTO FRAME] in Scene Mode is set.
• You cannot use Continuous Mode when [10S/3PICTURES] is selected.
• Setting of the Self-Timer cannot be performed when recording motion pictures.
