Taking Pictures with the Self-timer
Preparation
 Set the mode dial except for [ ]/[ ]. (P29)
1Switch the self-timer setting.
: Self-timer set to 10 seconds
;
: Self-timer set to 2 seconds
;
No display (canceled)
2Focus on the subject to take the 
picture.
 If you press the [MENU] button 
when the self-timer is set, the 
self-timer setting is canceled.
¬Suggestions/Tips ¬
 When using a tripod or in other cases, 
setting the self-timer to 2 seconds is 
convenient to stabilize the jitter caused 
by pressing the shutter button.
 The self-timer 
indicator 1 blinks 
and the shutter is 
activated after 
10 seconds (or 
2 seconds).
 When pressing the button fully at a 
stroke, the subject is automatically 
focused just before recording pictures.
 In Simple mode [ ], the self-timer 
can only be set to 10 seconds.
 In Self-portrait mode [ ], the 
self-timer can only be set to 
2 seconds.
 When setting the self-timer in the burst 
mode, you can take only 1 picture.
 We recommend using a tripod when 
setting the self-timer.

recorded pictures. When releasing 2/1, the number of 
file forwarded begins from 1.
 While forwarding or rewinding a large 
number of pictures by holding down 
2/1, once release 2/1 before 
reaching the picture to be played back, 
then press 2/1 to forward/rewind 
pictures until the desired picture 
appears.
 In review playback in the recording 
mode or multi playback, the pictures 
can only be forwarded or rewound one 
by one.

Suggestions/Tips ¬
 This camera is based on the DCF 
standards (Design rule for Camera 
File system) which were established 
by the Japan Electronics and 
Information Technology Industries 
Association (JEITA).
 When changing the folder name or file 
name on PC, the pictures may not be 
played back.
 The file format that can be played back 
with this camera is JPEG. (There are 
also pictures that cannot be played 
back in JPEG format.)
 When playing back pictures that have 
been recorded with other equipment, 
the picture quality may be deteriorated 
and pictures may not be played back.
 When playing back a file out of 
standard, the folder/file number is 
indicated by [—] and the screen may 
turn black.
 The interference fringe may appear on 
the screen depending on the subject. 
This is called moire. This is not a 
malfunction.SETREVIEW
