4 Doing more with your camera

Using the self-timer

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


  1. In any Still mode, press the button repeatedly to choose:

10 seconds - A picture is taken after a 10-second delay (so you have time to get into the scene).

2 seconds - A picture is taken after a 2-second delay (for a steady, auto-shutter release on a tripod).

2 shot - The first picture is taken after a 10-second delay. A second picture is taken 8 seconds later.

  2. Press OK, then the Menu button.

  3. Compose the scene.

  4. Press the Shutter button halfway, then completely down.

The camera takes the picture/pictures after the delay.

NOTE: In Panoramic modes (Taking panoramic pictures), only the 2- and 10-second self-timer settings are available.

Use the same procedure to take a video, but:

  • Slide the Mode switch 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.
