Self-Timer With the self-timer you can take a photo without holding the device. Use this function to take self-portraits, or group photos where everyone can be in the photo. You can also use the self-timer if you want to avoid shaking the camera when taking photos. On (10 sec.) Set a 10-second delay from when you tap the camera screen until the photo is taken. On (2 sec.) Set a 2-second delay from when you tap the camera screen until the photo is taken. 0.5 sec. Set a half-second delay from when you tap the camera screen until the photo is taken. Off The photo is taken as soon as you tap the camera screen. Smile Shutter™ Use the Smile Shutter™ function to determine what kind of smile the camera reacts to before taking a photo.

Single autofocus The camera automatically focuses on the selected subject. Continuous autofocus is on.
