If it's anything like a Canon DSLR, RAW mode is only available in the P, 
AV, TV and M shooting modes, and not any of the Scene or fully-auto-
idiot modes.

<downloads G9 manual and checks>

Yes, that's the case.  Look at "functions available in each shooting 
mode".  It's on page 270/271 of the US manual that I downloaded.

Again, the custom self-timer is locked out in certain modes.  It's in 
the manual - page 76 in the US one that I downloaded, with page 270/271 
giving full details again.

Hope this does help.
