Self-Timer Operation; Shutter Button - Canon EOS Rebel T2 SERIES' EOS 300X SERIES Instruction Manual

qSelf-timer Operation
You can use self-timer in any Basic mode or Creative mode. We
recommend using a tripod when you use the self-timer.
Do not stand in front of the camera when you press the shutter
button to start the self-timer. Doing so prevents the camera from
focusing on the subject.
• To cancel the self-timer after it starts, press the <^> button.
• When using the self-timer to take a picture of only yourself, first
lock the focus (p.30) on an object at the same distance where you
will be in the picture.
