Self-Timer

The classic Self-Timer feature gives you a delay between tapping the Second Shutter Button and the camera actually taking the photo. The Self-Timer can be assigned to the Second Shutter Button via Control Panel. Pressing the Second Shutter activates the count-down, three beeps will signal the last seconds before the photo is taken.
