Using The Self-Timer To Avoid Camera Shake; Customizing The Self-Timer - Canon PowerShot SX260 HS User Manual

Using the Self-Timer to Avoid Camera Shake

This option delays shutter release until about two seconds after you have
pressed the shutter button. If the camera is unsteady while you are pressing
the shutter button, it will not affect your shot.

Customizing the Self-Timer

You can specify the delay (0 – 30 seconds) and number of shots (1 – 10).
• For movies shot using the self-timer, [Delay] represents the delay
before recording begins, but the [Shots] setting has no effect.
