Instruction manual

The self-timer lamp on the front of the camera and the audio signals indicate the countdown. The lamp
will glow steadily just before the shutter fires. To stop the countdown, press the menu button or
change the position of the flash (lift it or push it down).
When using the ten-second self-timer, the drive mode
is reset to single-frame advance after the exposure.
The audio signal can be turned off in section 3 of the
setup menu (p. 140).
With the camera on a tripod, compose the picture as described in the basic recording
section (p. 30). Focus lock (p. 32), spot AF area (p. 47) or the Flex Focus Point (p. 48)
can be used with off-center subjects. Press the shutter-release button partway down
(1) to lock the exposure and focus. Press the shutter-release button all the way down
(2) to begin the countdown. Because focus and exposure are determined when the
shutter-release button is pressed, do not stand in front of the camera when taking a
self-timer image. Always confirm the focus with the focus signals before beginning the
countdown (p. 33).
