Using sleep mode
Your digital camera shuts off after a few minutes of inactivity. The camera beeps while it is in this
sleep mode. While the camera is beeping, turn it off and on, or press the shutter button, to take a
photo. When you press the shutter button, the camera turns itself on and takes the photo normally.
Using the self-timer
1. Look through the viewfinder to compose your photo.
2. Press the self-timer button; the camera beeps continuously for 10
seconds, and after a long beep, takes the photo.
Note: Using your camera’s tripod mount is recommended.

create the risk of electrical shock.
•Supervise children when the camera is used by them or in their presence.
•Do not expose the camera to, or immerse it in, water or other liquids. Turn off the camera and
remove the batteries if the camera is exposed to fluids. Using the camera under these conditions
creates the risk of electrical shock or fire.

•Do not operate the camera if it is dropped or damaged.
