Setting The Self-Timer - Canon ZR Instruction Manual

Setting the Self-Timer

E
This is useful when you want to include yourself in the picture when recording.
(see p. 28)
1. Put the camera in record pause mode, with the MOVIE/PHOTO
switch set to MOVIE.
2. Turn the self-timer on from the SELF-TIMER option at the camera
menu.
3. Press the start/stop button.
• The camera starts to record after a 10 second countdown period (or 2 secs
from the wireless controller). The time remaining counts down in the
display (e.g. "5 sec").
• SELF-TIMER disappears from the display when recording begins.
4. Press the start/stop button to end recording.
Notes:
• Once the countdown has begun, press the start/stop button to turn it off.
• Cancel the self-timer at any stage by switching the power off or sliding the
LENS COVER switch to CLOSE.
• In photo mode slide the MOVIE/PHOTO switch to PHOTO, and then set the
self-timer in exactly the same way. The camera automatically adjusts the focus
and exposure 2 seconds before the countdown is complete. The green
also displayed at this time.
• You cannot set the self-timer while the camera is in mirror mode (with the LCD
screen facing the same direction as the lens). Set the self-timer first, before
lifting the LCD screen up to face the lens.
