is activated after 10 seconds (or 2 seconds).

Note
• When using a tripod etc., setting the self-timer to 2 seconds is a convenient way to avoid
the jitter 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 blink and then may turn on
brightly operating as an AF assist lamp (P93) to allow the camera to focus on the subject.
