Of course, haven't owned a TV of my own since I was 19 (by choice) and I haven't lived in North America for 3.5 years, so I could be a hair out of touch...
Time to work on that tripod technique...
Set up a tripod (even a table tripod works fine too... like a spot of tape on the table to mark your camera's center) and bring the camera to your posing area. Get in position and focus on the tripod (or something placed on the tape marker on the nearby table) and use the MF button to focus lock.
Now you can set self-timer (or intervalometer) and place the camera on the tripod (or spot) and pose/snap away. You can also use the LCD for composure.
I find that it helps to find a spot on the floor to reference my face to.
This works well in low-light situations or false low-light situations. You can get better focus by autofocus if turn on the lights to lock focus.
Remember too that if the camera powers down, you will lose your focus settings.
Hope it helps!
