How to Work My Sony Cyber Shot 3.2 Self Timer

Sony Cyber Shot 3.2 megapixel digital cameras have several features that allow you to take high-quality photographs. The self-timer on the Cyber Shot not only aids in picture quality, but also allows you to be a part of photographs. Photographs sometimes come out blurry because of camera shake when you press the shutter button. The self-timer allows you to press the shutter button and steady your hands before the picture is taken. In addition, if you want to be in a photograph, you can set the camera on a stable surface, you can start the timer and position yourself in frame before the shot is taken.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Turn the mode dial on the camera to the still shot selection. The self-timer does not work when taking videos or in playback mode.

2. Press the down arrow button to enter self-timer mode. The self-timer icon will appear on the LCD screen.

3. Frame the shot with the viewfinder or the LCD screen.

4. Press the shutter button fully down to start the timer. The orange self-timer light on the front of the camera will start blinking and the camera will sound an alert. The picture will be taken after approximately 10 seconds.

5. You can cancel the self-timer mode by pressing the down the arrow button a second time.
