Putting Yourself in the Video

The Self Timer creates a 10-second delay between the time you press the Shutter button and the time video recording begins.


  1. Turn the Mode dial to Video , then press the Self Timer button.

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

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

  3. Compose the scene. Press the Shutter button completely down and release it. Move so that you are in the scene.

  4. To stop recording, press the Shutter button again.

  • The Self Timer light blinks slowly for 8 seconds (then quickly for 2 seconds) before the video begins recording. It stays on while recording.

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

  • To cancel the Self Timer countdown before the video 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.

TIP: Want to be in the video without filming yourself walking in and out of the scene? Use the Self Timer and Video Length (see Setting Video Length) features.
