How do you use the self timer?

We tried the Program AE and the auto mode. We were able to get the menu to show how many seconds and number of pictures, but the manual doesn't say how to set ok or what to do next.

Using the Self-timer

With this function, images are shot 10 or 2 seconds after the shutter button is pressed. This is useful when you want to take a memorable photo with everyone including yourself in the picture. The self-timer can be used in any shooting mode. In addition, you can set the delay time and number of shots (Custom Timer).

1. Press the [v] button to choose either (10 seconds), (2 seconds), or (custom) using [^] or [v] buttons
2. Press the <FUNC./S button to confirm the setting and the desired option then shows on the screen.
3. Shoot the image by pressing the shutter button.

* When the shutter button is pressed fully, the self-timer will activate and the self-timer lamp will blink.
* When the self-timer is set to 10 secs (2 secs), the shutter activates 10 (2) seconds after the shutter button is pressed fully.
* With the (Custom Timer) option, the specified number of shots are taken after the specified delay when the shutter button is pressed fully. You can change the delay time (0?10, 15, 20, 30sec.) and number of shots (1?10). When [Delay] is set to 2 or more sec., the self-timer sound begins to beep 2 sec. before the shutter releases. When [Shots] is set to more than 1, the self-timer sound only beeps before the first shot.

To Cancel the Self-Timer

Press the <FUNC./S button and then use the [^] or [v] buttons to display [display icon].
