Taking Pictures with the Self-Timer
The self-timer is useful for taking pictures of yourself, such as in group souvenir shots,
or if you want to reduce camera shake when you press the shutter-release button. You
can select a two-second or ten-second timer.
When using the self-timer, use of a tripod is recommended. When the camera is
stabilized with a tripod, set Vibration reduction (A160) to Off in the setup menu
(A152).
