Putting Yourself in the Picture

The Self Timer creates a 10-second delay between the time you press the Shutter button and the time the picture is taken.


  1. In any Still mode, press the Self Timer/Burst button.

  2. Place the camera on a flat surface or use a tripod.

  3. Compose the scene. Then press the Shutter button half-way and hold to set the exposure and focus, then press the rest of the way down . Move so that you are in the scene.

The Self Timer icon appears in the status area and blinks during the timer countdown.

  • The Self Timer light blinks slowly for 8 seconds (then quickly for 2 seconds) before the picture is taken. The camera "clicks" when the picture is captured. To turn off the shutter sound, see Turning Off the Shutter Sound.

  • The Self Timer turns off after you take the picture or if you change modes.

  • To cancel the Self Timer countdown before the picture is taken, press the Self Timer button. (The Self Timer setting remains active.)

  • To turn off the Self Timer, press the Self Timer button twice.
