Self-Portrait Timer

Taking a self-portrait photo can be hit or miss. Now with the Self-Portrait Timer on a Cyber-shot™ you’re guaranteed great results every time. Just select the timer to capture you, or you and a friend, and put on your best smile knowing your digital camera is set to get everything right.

Don’t miss out on memorable moments

Capturing self-portraits can be tricky. Are you in the photo? Are you in focus? Will you smile at the right moment? Now, there’s no need to worry about a camera only capturing half the shot. Simply set the Self-Portrait Timer on your Cyber-shot and it will detect when you or you and a friend are in front of the camera and focus on faces to take a stunning photo every time.

Couple using the Self-Portrait Timer to capture a moment together

Look at the camera not the viewfinder

The Self-Portrait Timer uses clever face detection technology to recognise when you’re in exactly the right spot. There’s no need to fiddle around with the controls or balance the camera in an awkward spot. Just relax, focus on looking good and let your Cyber-shot take a photo at the moment when you’re looking at your best.

Easily get pictures of you and your friends

The Self-Portrait Timer is simple to use. At the touch of the timer button you can select whether to capture a self-portrait for 1 or 2 people. Face the camera and the timer light on the front will flash when either you or you and your friend are in perfect focus and then begin a 2 second countdown. Smile and enjoy the moment: your Cyber-shot will be creating a special memory for you to share with your friends again and again.

Before

Without a Self-Portrait Timer there’s a risk you or a friend won’t be in the frame when the camera finds something to focus on. The result is photos which fail to capture subjects, expressions and the atmosphere of the moment.

After

The Self-Portrait Timer automatically adjusts focus before taking a photo. It ensures your self-portrait is framed perfectly and you can relax knowing the camera will capture faces and expressions in superb quality.
