With the camera on a tripod, compose the picture as described in the
basic recording section (p. 30). Focus lock (p. 32), spot AF area (p. 47) or
the Flex Focus Point (p. 48) can be used with off-center subjects. Press
the shutter-release button partway down (1) to lock the exposure and
focus. Press the shutter-release button all the way down (2) to begin the
countdown. Because focus and exposure are determined when the
shutter-release button is pressed, do not stand in front of the camera when
taking a self-timer image. Always confirm the focus with the focus signals
before beginning the countdown (p. 33).
SELF-TIMER
Two-second self-timer
The self-timer lamp on the front of the camera and the audio signals indicate the
countdown. The lamp will glow steadily just before the shutter fires. To stop the
countdown, press the menu button or change
the position of the flash (lift it or push it down).
When using the ten-second self-timer, the drive
mode is reset to single-frame advance after the
exposure. The audio signal can be turned off in
section 3 of the setup menu (p. 140).
77
Used for self-portraits, the self-timer will delay the release of the shutter after the shutter
button is pressed. A ten second and two second self-timer is available.
Self-timer is set with the drive-mode button and the
controller (p. 76).
Ten-second self-timer
When the self-timer is set, the
indicator appears on the monitors.
