self-timer from a distance by waving your hand, so you
can include yourself in the image being shot.

mode: Program Auto, Premium Auto Pro, or
HS Best Selection or Brightening (BEST SHOT scene).
• Movie shooting is disabled while the HS Best Selection BEST SHOT scene is
being used.

[0] (Movie) (if you want to shoot a movie).
The start self-timer icon will change to “ ” to indicate that the camera is in
standby for shooting.
6. Facing the camera, move your hand or perform some other movement
in the vicinity of the (start self-timer) icon on the monitor screen.
When the camera detects movement near the icon, it will automatically shoot an
image.

NOTE
• In the case of snapshot shooting, the camera will return to standby after an image
is shot. The camera will automatically exit standby after 30 snapshots are shot
using the Handsfree Mode.
• Any one of the following will automatically exit standby: pressing the shutter button,
changing the tilt orientation of the monitor screen, or turning the camera upside
down.
• The Handsfree Mode may not operate properly when there is little difference
between the subject and the background of the icon, or when the subject is located
far away from the camera.
