Press the shutter-release button halfway to
focus, and then press the button the rest of the
way down to start the self-timer. The self-timer
lamp will start
to blink and a beep will begin to sound. Two seconds before the
photograph is taken, the self-timer lamp will stop blinking and the beeping will
become more rapid. At default settings,
the shutter will be released ten
seconds after
the timer starts.
The
timer will not start if the camera is unable to focus or in other situations in
which
the shutter can not be released.
The self-timer can be cancelled by selecting another release mode. Turning
the
camera off cancels self-timer mode and restores single frame or continuous mode.
