When taking pictures of people outdoors during the daytime, this mode enables the texture
of their skin to appear even softer than with [PORTRAIT]. (It is effective when taking
pictures of people from the chest up.)

∫ Technique for Self portrait mode
•
Press the shutter button halfway to focus. The self-timer indicator
lights up when you are brought into focus. Making sure you hold
the camera still, press the shutter button fully to take the picture.
• The subject is not focused when the self-timer indicator is
blinking. Make sure to press the shutter button halfway again to
focus.
• The recorded picture automatically appears on the LCD monitor
for reviewing.
• If the picture is blurry due to the slow shutter speed, we recommend using the 2 second
self-timer.
Note
•
The focus range is about 30 cm to 70 cm.
• The zoom magnification is automatically moved to Wide (1k).
• The self-timer can only be set to off or 2 seconds. If it is set to 2 seconds, this setting will
remain until the camera is turned off, the scene mode is changed or [REC] mode or
[PLAYBACK] mode is selected.
• The stabilizer function mode is fixed to [MODE2]. (P66)
• The initial setting for [AF MODE] is [š].
