Taking self-timer pictures

Use the self-timer when you want to be included in a picture, or to ensure a steady Shutter button press.


  1. Place the camera on a tripod or flat surface. In most Still modes, press the Self-timer/Burst button :

  • Once for a 10-second delay (so you have time to get into the scene)

  • Again for a 2-second delay (for a steady, auto-shutter release on a tripod)

  • Again for 2-shot (one picture taken after 10 seconds and another picture taken 8 seconds later)

  2. Compose the scene. Press the Shutter button halfway, then completely down.

The picture is taken after the delay. To cancel the Self-timer before the picture is taken, press the Self-timer/Burst button, or press the Shutter button completely down.


Use the same procedure to use the self-timer in Video mode, but:

  • Turn the Mode dial to Video .

  • Press the Shutter button completely down.

NOTE: The video stops when no storage space remains. Only the 2- and 10-second options are available in video mode.
