Using the Drive button
Using the self-timer
Use the self-timer when you want to be included in a picture, or to ensure a steady
Shutter button press. Place the camera on a tripod or flat surface.
1 In any picture-taking mode, press the Drive button until the desired self-timer icon
is displayed on the LCD.
10 seconds— A picture is taken after a 10-second delay (so you have time
to get into the scene).
2 seconds— A picture is taken after a 2-second delay (for a steady, shutter
release on a tripod).
2 shot— The first picture is taken after a 10-second delay. A second picture
is taken 8 seconds later.
2 Press the Shutter button halfway to focus and set exposure, then completely
down to take the pictures.
The camera takes the picture(s) after the delay.
Use the same procedure to take a 2- or 10-second self-timer video, but press the
Shutter button completely down.
Press the Drive button repeatedly to scroll through
self-timer and burst modes.
The current flash mode appears on the LCD or EVF.
