Self-Timer Operation - Canon EOS-1V HS Instructions Manual

Self-timer Operation

The self-timer can be set to either a 2-second or 10-second delay. When
using the self-timer, you should mount the camera on a tripod.
When using the self-timer to photograph yourself only, first lock the focus
(→p.45) on an object at about the same distance where you will be.
The 2-second delay is effective for close-ups or photo duplicating work to
prevent camera shake (camera movement while the shutter button is pressed).
Do not stand in front of the camera when you press the shutter button to start
the self-timer. Doing so will throw off the focus.
