Using the Self-timer with Gesture Control
When you position the monitor facing forward in the same direction as the camera lens and
move your hand toward an icon displayed on the monitor, the shutter is released after a
countdown. You can also move your hand toward the other icons to control the zoom
position or record a movie. This function is useful when taking self-portrait images or
shooting from a short distance.
This function is available in Portrait and Night portrait scene modes, smart portrait mode,
and A (auto) mode.
