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 tripod or flat surface.


  1. In any Still mode, tap Settings to open the Settings panel.

  2. Tap Self-Timer/Burst repeatedly, until the desired Self-timer icon appears at the bottom of the LCD:

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.

  3. Compose the scene. 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 options are available. Use the same procedure to take a 2- or 10-second self-timer video, but press the Shutter button completely down.

Using burst

Use burst to take up to 3 pictures in quick succession.


  1. In P mode (or in some SCN modes), tap Settings to open the Settings panel.

  2. Tap Self-Timer/Burst repeatedly, until the Burst icon appears at the bottom of the LCD.

  3. Press the Shutter button halfway to focus and set exposure.

  4. Press the Shutter button completely down and hold it to take pictures.
