A Note • When using a tripod etc., setting the self-timer to 2 seconds is a convenient way to avoid the jitter caused by pressing the shutter button. • When you press the shutter button once fully, the subject is automatically focused just before recording. In dark places, the self-timer indicator will blink and then may turn on brightly operating as an AF assist lamp (P76) to allow the camera to focus on the subject. • We recommend using a tripod when recording with the self-timer. • The number of pictures which can be taken in [BURST] is fixed to 3. 46 VQT1Q36
