Video self-timer

When recording using the video self-timer, video recording automatically starts when the set time expires.
In video mode, you can set the video self-timer by rotating the main command dial while pressing the c (E) button.

  • Set the self-timer to an option other than [Off] and press the video-record button to start the timer; the video recording countdown will be displayed and the self-timer lamp will begin to flash. The self-timer lamp stops flashing and glows steadily two seconds before the timer expires.
  • The video self-timer can also be set from [Video self-timer] in the video recording menu.
