Why can't I set self timer to take 3 shots. LUMIX dmc fz200

This is a Book about the DMC-FZ200 about the Panasonic Lumix DMC FZ200 User Manual Paperback December 9 2013 . I have both the camera and the book. The author, Graham Haughton, is highly respected in the field. There is no better book nor guide. This goes from basic to advanced. Common style: on page ___ it says ...., what it really means is .... and a better and easier way is .... Or, ...this setting is awful, turn it off. It made the FZ200 fun to use and get some great pictures.

Panasonic DMC-FZ200 change language setting

switch on and press menu/set button in set up scroll down until you see a symbol of a face with a speech bubble select this and then select the required language.

the manual

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 Camera User's Manual Guide (Owners Instruction)

can be downloaded from the following site.http://www.camerauserguide.net/panasonic-lumix-dmc-fz200-camera-users-manual-guide-owners-instruction/14129

i hope this was useful.

The manual never mentions how to set the language, so I think the models are sold in more than one language, depending in what country you bought it, it will have hat language. When you have a camera with the Japan language, I'm sure there will be no other language in it.

Attached is an image of the Self timer function from the operating manual.

Press the cursor that has the clock and burst symbols. You should be presented with multiple modes. Choose single to take normal shots without the timer.

hello

Have you tried turning the drive mode lever from self timer mode to single shot mode? If not, surrounding the mode dial are a couple of levers: one being the on and off lever and the other being the drive mode lever. if you move the drive mode lever up to the first option (illustrated by a single box, meaning single shot), you'll be able to turn the self timer off.

If that doesn't work, then it might be a system bug/error. In that case, download the latest firmware here and upgrade your camera.

Hope this helps!

You set the self timer with the round rocker switch on the back of the camera. Press the icon on the left side, the little clock shape. One press for 10 seconds delay, again for 2 seconds, again to cancel (icon will show on screen). Then press the shutter button- the shutter will fire after the delay.

Press cursor-left (marked with a one-handed clock). Use up/down to select a mode. Start the self-timer by pressing the shutter release button.

Press cursor-left (marked with a one-handed clock). Use up/down to select a mode.

If you turn on BURST, you can take three shots. Otherwise it takes one shot.
