With the camera in Record mode, push the center button on the four-way controller. This opens the Function menu. Use the arrows to scroll down the icons on the left of the screen until you come to an empty white box. This is the Drive icon; push the right arrow key to scroll thru the options. You'll see a little 2 and a little 10 appear in the box; these are the self timer options (2 and 10 seconds). Push the center button again when you've selected your choice.

*Note: I just realized that I don't remember if this camera has a Func button or not. If it does, push that instead of the center one on the four-way controller. One of the two will work!
