Customizing The Self-Timer - Canon PowerShot A800 User Manual

Using the Self-Timer

Customizing the Self-Timer

You can set the delay (0 – 30 seconds) and the number of shots (1 – 10
shots).
What if the number of shots is set to two or more shots?
• Exposure and white balance settings are set with the first shot.
• If the flash fires or you set a high number of shots, the shooting interval may take
longer than usual.
• If the memory card fills, shooting stops automatically.
When you set the delay for more han 2 seconds, the lamp and self-timer
sound speed up 2 seconds before the shutter releases (the lamp remains
lit when the flash will fire).
