Pistorius leaned against the dock, looking slightly flushed and emotional as he spoke to his sister Aimee.
Prosecutor Gerrie Nel said he would use the tea break to get a document he needed.
Pistorius hugged his look-alike brother Carl and wandered over to his legal team, conferring in a far corner of the court room.
People supporting the Steenkamp family also sat in a tight huddle as photographers discreetly took pictures.
Pistorius shot dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp at his home in Silver Woods estate, Pretoria on February 14, 2013.
He has pleaded not guilty to murder, saying he thought he was shooting at an intruder through the toilet door.
