Taking a Self-Portrait: Using the Self-Timer When the self-timer is on, pictures are taken ten or three seconds after the shutter-release button is pressed. This can be used to allow you to appear in your own pictures or to prevent close-up or low-light shots from being blurred by the camera movement that occurs when the shutter-release button is pressed. When using the self-timer, you should either mount the camera on a tripod (recommended) or rest it on a flat, level surface. More on Photography Display self-timer menu. Highlight ON. Exit menu. Self-timer icon is displayed in monitor (to exit without setting the selftimer, wait two seconds without pressing any buttons). Frame picture and press shutter-release button halfway to set focus and exposure. Start timer. Press once for delay of about ten seconds, twice for delay of about three seconds. • Countdown timer in monitor shows number of seconds remaining until shutter is released. 44
