the camera is Canon Powershot A530. How do you set the self time? Press "FUNC" to get the menu display.
Toggle down to the third icon, which is a rectangle, for the "Drive Mode."
Toggle to the right until you reach the delay that you want to use.
You can choose 10 seconds, 2 seconds, or Custom delay.
Press the "FUNC" button again to confirm your desired delay.
When the delay that you want is displayed, set up your picture, push the shutter button and then the red-eye reduction lamp will blink once per second until the picture is taken.
You cancel the self-timer by going through the same series of actions, but choose the single-frame all the way to the left on the menu bar. |
